Hertz Fellowship
The Hertz Fellowship is a merit-based award and provides a cost-of-education allowance and a personal-support stipend. In addition to providing funding along with the research freedom to pursue a PhD, we also provide mentorship and counsel through the lifelong community of peers to which fellows belong—the Hertz community. This community is comprised of current in-school fellows who are pursuing their graduate degree, as well as the entire group of alumni fellows. Graduating seniors and graduate students who have completed less than one year who are US citizens or permanent residents are eligible to apply.
