The Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Graduate Fellowship Awards (Visit this link)
The Hertz Foundation's Graduate Fellowship award, which is based on merit (not need) consists of a cost-of-education allowance and a personal-support stipend. The cost-of-education allowance is accepted by all of the tenable schools in lieu of all fees and tuition. Hertz Fellows therefore have no liability for any ordinary educational costs, regardless of their choice among tenable schools. Successful applicants have the choice of two Fellowship options: 1. Five-Year Hertz - Option 1 - $28,000/9-month personal stipend - Full tuition equivalent - Renewable for up to 5 years 2. Five-Year Coordinated - Option 2 Hertz Period - Two Years - $33,000/9-month personal stipend - Full tuition equivalent Other Fellowship Period - Up to Three Years - $3,000/ year supplemental stipend from Hertz - Requires Awardee to accept a 3-year Fellowship from another source The Five-Year Hertz Fellowship award (Option 1) is renewable annually (upon a showing of satisfactory progress toward receipt of the Ph.D. degree) for a total Fellowship tenure of no more than five years. Fellows must attend one of the Foundation's tenable schools, or must petition the Foundation to include a school that he/she desires to attend. Evidence of exceptional creativity, broad understanding of physical principles, and outstanding potential for innovative research is expected. Eligible applicants for Hertz Fellowships must be students of the applied physical sciences who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States of America, and who are willing to morally commit to make their skills available to the United States in time of national emergency. College seniors wishing to pursue the Ph.D. degree in any of the fields of particular interest to the Foundation, as well as graduate students already in the process of doing so, may apply. Exceptional Intelligence and Creativity with particular emphasis on those aspects pertinent to technical endeavors Excellent Technical Education evidenced not only by transcripts and reference reports from senior technical professionals, but also by the results of a personal, technical interview Orientation and Commitment to the applications of the physical sciences as is typical of most applicants Extraordinary Accomplishment in technical or related professional studies which may offset slightly lower academic records, or add luster to outstanding ones Features of Temperament and Character conducive to high attainment as a technical professional the assessment of which is difficult, albeit important to the Foundation Appropriate moral and ethical values of considerable interest to the Foundation in the furthering of our basic goals Leverage what difference the award of the Hertz Fellowship is likely to make in the kind, quality, and/or personal creativity of the student's graduate research.
