The Hertz Foundation awards fellowships to graduate students pursuing a PhD in the applied physical and biological sciences, mathematics, or engineering. Fellowships include a cost-of-education allowance (covering all tuition and fees) and a personal stipend and are renewable for up to five years. Fellows must intend to direct their studies toward understanding and solving major, near-term problems facing society. 

 

Fellows must pursue PhD studies at one of the Foundation's currently participating schools (see program website for list), or must petition to have their school added to the list. Drexel is not currently a participating school. Applicants do not need to be currently enrolled in one of the participating schools to apply to the Hertz Fellowship.

College seniors, recent graduates, or first-year graduate students who are US citizens or permanent residents are eligible to apply.
