"One insight I've developed in June that I will carry forward is that even though you don't see a direct result from your attempt to make a change it does not mean that you aren't making a difference."
- Shanquell Dixon
Because of high demand, as many as three students may compete for each Fellowship slot, and we currently have a waiting list of agencies across Alabama eager to host a Fellow.
Help Harness Innovation
We invite you to help us expand our capacity and create additional opportunities for both students and their community partners by becoming a sponsor of a Fellow or Fellows. A $2,500 investment helps offset the $5,000 cost of training and mentorship, and program support for each Fellow.
By sponsoring a Fellow, you are helping harness the innovation, leadership, and passion of Alabama’s brightest emerging health leaders to address some of our state’s most pressing community health needs.

Want To See The Impact In Action?
Explore the wide range of Fellows and Projects led by current and past Schweitzer Fellows. Each Fellow’s journey doesn’t end after their first year — they join the Schweitzer Fellows for Life network, a community of more than 4,000 alumni worldwide who carry forward a shared commitment to health equity and service.
Here in Alabama, our program is sustained entirely by charitable gifts and grants from generous supporters. Your donation directly fuels the work of Fellows and helps meet the health needs of communities across the state. Together, we can make a lasting difference.
