Hertz Foundation Fellowships

The Hertz Graduate Fellowship Award is a merit-based award that provides the necessary funding along with the research freedom for fellows to pursue a PhD in the applied physical, biological and engineering sciences, including applied mathematics and statistics. The Fellowship provides a cost-of-education allowance that participating schools accept in lieu of all fees and tuition and offers mentorship and counsel from a community of peer fellows and alumni fellows. Two and five-year fellowships are available, as well as the opportunity for a Gates Foundation-sponsored fellowship focused on Global Health and Development.
