Mailing Address: Jewish Community Services Building - 2100 Arch Street - Philadelphia , PA , United States 19103
Amount: Interest-free loan up to $5000
Dr. Albert Strickler, founder of Philadelphia’s Skin and Cancer Hospital, established this fund as an endowment to help talented men and women pursue medical education. The fund provides an interest-free loan of up to $5,000 to medical students, preferably of the Jewish faith, who demonstrate a significant need for financial aid and are enrolled in an accredited U.S. medical or osteopathic school. This fund requires that loan repayments begin within five years after graduation, ensuring that future funds will continue to be available for students in need.
The Strickler Fund application is combined with the application for the Feinman Fund.
