The Fannie and John Hertz Foundation is an American non-profit organization that awards prestigious[3] fellowships to Ph.D. students in the applied physical, biological and engineering sciences. The fellowship provides students with up to $250,000 of support over five years, giving them flexibility and the ability to pursue their own interests, as well as mentoring from alumni fellows.[4] Fellowship recipients pledge to make their skills available to the United States in times of national emergency.[5]
