The Hertz Foundation is offering graduate fellowship award to support graduate students working towards the PhD degree at one of the foundation’s currently participating schools. The graduate fellowship award is based on merit (not need) and consists of a cost-of-education allowance and a personal-support stipend. The Five-Year Hertz Fellowship award (Option 1) is renewable for up to 5 years, the Five-Year Hertz Coordinated (Option 2) is awarded for two years. Other fellowship is awarded up to three years. The application deadline is 30th October, 2015.

Course Level: The Foundation supports graduate students working towards the PhD degree at one of the Foundation’s currently participating schools.

Eligibility:
-Eligible applicants for Hertz Fellowships must be students of the applied physical,biological and engineering 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 (see our Moral Commitment section).
-College seniors wishing to pursue the PhD 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. We generally do not award fellowships to students who are already beyond their first year of graduate study except in cases of “exceptional leverage.” Such awards are very rare—only three have been made in the past 10 years.
