The Schweitzer Fellowship is a prestigious year-long service-learning program for graduate students interested in health who design and implement innovative direct-service projects aimed at improving the well-being of underserved Chicago area communities. Annually, 26 graduate students are selected from diverse fields to become Fellows who will design and implement year-long direct service projects. Fellows receive a $2,750 stipend for their participation. Hannah Lewis, a second-year master's student, was the recipient of a Schweitzer Fellowship for the 2025-2026 year.
