The Fannie and John Hertz Foundation is an American non-profit organization that awards fellowships to PhD students in the applied physical and biological sciences, mathematics, and engineering. Hertz Fellows are selected at the beginning of their careers for their potential to lead the advancement of science and technology through innovation. The fellowship begins with up to $250,000 of financial support over five years of graduate study, granting flexibility and the ability to pursue their own interests, as well as mentoring from alumni fellows. In addition to funding, fellows receive distinctive opportunities throughout their lives, including events, mentoring, and professional and scholarly support as members of the Hertz Fellows Community. Fellows pledge to make their skills available to the United States in times of national emergency. Membership as a Hertz Fellow is for life.
