The Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Graduate Fellowship Awards
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.
