The Visiting Scholars program fee is $800-5,000/month (subject to change), depending on the type of program (listed above) desired. The fee defrays the administrative and other costs of the Visiting Scholars Program to the Department and the School of Dentistry. Before any scholarly activities can be formally started, the Visiting Scholar is expected to pay the fee for the entire anticipated length of stay within one week of arriving at the University. Prefer payment method is wire transfer or check. Unfortunately, we cannot accept credit cards or cash payment.
Fees are not refundable. A non-refundable processing fee of $925 for the Visiting Scholar (subject to change) is required. The processing fee covers cost for the J-1/DS2019 visa document through the UW International Scholar’s Office (ISO), criminal background check through Sterling and associated miscellaneous expenses. If the Visiting Scholar requires a visa for J-2 dependent, an additional processing fee of $700 per family member is required.
