Jane B. Aron Doctoral Fellowship

The Jane Baerwald Aron Doctoral Fellowship Program provides partial support to social work doctoral students who are engaged in dissertation research in health care policy and practice. The fellowship program was established in 1987 as a tribute to Aron, who was a leader in health care policy and education.

Jane B. Aron, who died in 1983, devoted her career to creating social policy that was responsive to people's needs. She was best known through her longtime association with New York's Mount Sinai Medical Center and Mills College in California.

The Aron Fellowship is awarded based on the projected annual earnings to the fund and contributions. To make a donation, click below. A panel reviews applicants and selects the award recipient.

The Jane B. Aron Doctoral Fellowship program will support one fellowship, up to $3,000, for the 2010-2011 academic year.
