Hertz Foundation Graduate Fellowship for US Applicants, 2017-2018, Deadline is October 28, 2016.
The Hertz Foundation is inviting applications for its annual graduate fellowship award to support graduate students working towards the Ph.D. degree at one of the foundation’s currently participating schools. Eligible applicants for Hertz Graduate Fellowships must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States of America.
The Graduate Fellowship Award is based on merit (not need) and consists of a cost-of-education allowance and a personal support stipend.
The Hertz Foundation mission is to provide unique financial and fellowship support to the nation’s most remarkable Ph.D. students in the physical, biological and engineering sciences. Fellowships are free of most traditional restrictions. Hertz Fellows become innovators and leaders serving in ways that benefit us all.
Course Level: The Foundation supports graduate students working towards the Ph.D. degree in the applied physical, biological and engineering sciences. The Foundation does not support study in pursuit of the M.D. Degree or work in descriptive biology, although it may support the Ph.D. portion of a joint M.D./Ph.D. study program.

- Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

Scholarship Award: The Graduate Fellowship Award is based on merit (not need) and consists of a cost-of-education allowance and a personal support stipend.The cost-of-education allowance is accepted by all of the participating schools in lieu of all fees and tuition.
