John Frederick Steinman Foundation

The fellowships may be renewed for a second year by the trustees upon review of evidence of progress by the fellow in the course of study for which the fellowship was granted. Selection will be made by a Fellowship Committee on the basis of scholastic record, personal qualifications, performance and future promise. A personal interview may be required. The award winner will be announced by May 1 of each year. The amount of each fellowship may be $6,000. However, should an applicant have other support, the Steinman award will be reduced by:

Any amount which the committee feels brings the total support in the excess of the reasonable needs of an applicant.

The time and manner of payment of each Fellowship shall be determined by the committee.

Fellowships will be awarded to those who have obligated themselves to practice their profession within Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, or in such other location serving in substantial part, residents of Lancaster County as the Fellowship Committee shall approve. The number of years each fellow shall be obligated to practice within Lancaster County shall be at least equal to the number of years fellowship support is received. The award will be available only to applicants in the fields of psychiatry, psychology and social work, as follows: Psychiatry - An applicant who has received an M.D. or D.O. degree and wishes to continue study to become a trained psychiatrist; or an applicant who is already a trained psychiatrist who wishes to engage in advanced psychiatric study or other psychiatric subspecialty.
