Hertz Graduate Fellowship
Application Deadline: October 29, 2021
The Hertz Fellowship provides financial and lifelong professional support for graduate students pursuing a PhD in the applied physical and biological sciences, mathematics, or engineering. The fellowship includes up to five years of funding, valued at up to $250,000, and the freedom to pursue innovative projects wherever they may lead. In addition, fellows take part in ongoing mentoring, symposia, and workshops with our vibrant community of more than 1200 fellows, a set of peers who span disciplines, generations, and geography.
Funding from the Hertz Foundation includes:
- $34,000/nine-month personal stipend
- Full tuition equivalent
- Renewable annually for up to five years
- $5,000/year stipend for fellows with dependent children
If you receive a fellowship, scholarship, or grant offer from another institution, Hertz will coordinate with that institution to make sure you can take advantage of each offer and receive the maximum possible compensation.
Eligibility
Applicants should:
- Be college seniors, first-year graduate students, or in a gap year preparing to apply to graduate school;
- Intend to pursue a PhD in the applied physical and biological sciences, mathematics, or engineering;
- Intend to direct their studies toward understanding and solving major, near-term problems facing society; and
