The Center for Global Health coordinates the scholarship that was founded by Professor Emeritus William Robinson, MD, PhD and Denver sculptor/ceramicist Peter Durst. Since 1997, the scholarship has provided more than 50 health sciences graduate students from the University of Colorado Denver and University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus with an opportunity to enjoy a culturally diverse clinical or research experience. Philosophically, the scholarship committee and its founders strongly believe in the long-lasting, positive value of global health endeavors in broadening personal and academic perspectives.

Dr. Calvin L. Wilson, MD, served as Director of the Center for Global Health (CGH) from 2004 to 2010. His career, shaped by work across countries and cultures, continues to inspire this scholarship. The Calvin Wilson Global Health Scholarship for Future Leaders in Global Health supports graduate students from the University of Colorado, the Colorado School of Public Health, and international partner institutions, to engage in culturally diverse global health research and service experiences. The scholarship reflects a commitment to ethical, community-engaged global health and to broadening students’ academic, professional, and cultural perspectives. The scholarship does not require that the student receive academic credit for the experience, but it is expected that the time spent internationally will deepen the student’s cultural awareness, and if applicable language proficiency, of the country visited.
