Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Fellowship

Description

The Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Fellowship provides financial and lifelong professional support for the nation's most promising graduate students in science and technology. The fellowship includes up to five years of funding and the freedom to pursue innovative projects wherever they may lead. All eligible applicants must be college seniors, first-year graduate students, or in a gap year preparing to apply to graduate school. They must intend to pursue a PhD in the applied physical and biological sciences, mathematics, or engineering; and intend to direct their studies toward understanding and solving major, near-term problems facing society. We do not award fellowships to applicants pursuing professional degrees other than a PhD, such as an MD, JD, MBA, DPH, or DVM. However, we will support the PhD portion of an MD/PhD program. There is no requirement to submit a proposed research project as part of the application process. However, the application does provide the opportunity to summarize current and prior research experiences as well as interests you intend to pursue. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information about the award and the list of eligible institutions.
