Each year, we select up to 30 graduate students from multiple schools and health related disciplines, including law, each of whom designs and implements their own 200-hour community service projects addressing local unmet health needs. In the process, Fellows develop as lifelong leaders in service through a year-long program of leadership development training, peer reflection, and mentoring. The Fellowship is open to students enrolled in a professional degree program through April 2011; Fellows receive a $3,000 stipend. Applications are due February 1.

To learn more about the Fellowship attend an information at BC Law on Thursday 10/8 at 12:30 p.m. in Stuart 409.

More information about the program and the application is located online at: www.schweitzerfellowship.org/features/us/bos/ . Please contact Devon Reber, Program Director with any questions, dreber@bidmc.harvard.edu.
