Scholars, Employees, Visitors
An international scholar is generally considered to be an individual not enrolled in a formal degree program, who holds a temporary nonimmigrant visa and who engages in scholarly activities including teaching, research and/or training at a university, research institute or hospital. At WashU, international scholars may be faculty members, research associates, postdoctoral research fellows, visiting scholars or physicians.
