The Schweitzer Fellowship is a year-long service learning program for graduate students in health-related professions who will design and implement innovative direct-service projects aimed at improving the health and well-being of underserved area communities. The Schweitzer program embraces the World Health Organization definition of health as a state of mental, physical, and social well-being and not merely the absence of illness or infirmity. Many Fellows’ projects address the social determinants of health, such as literacy, violence prevention, mental health/stress, and healthy lifestyles.
Fellows receive an annual stipend of $2,500, which may be used to help support their project costs and/or their tuition or personal use.
