CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY
Financial Support for Hertz Finalists
Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) will provide full financial benefits for students each year who are named finalists for the prestigious Hertz Fellowship but are not ultimately selected as Hertz Fellows. The partnership highlights the commitment of both organizations to support the nation’s most promising young minds in science and technology.
A path for funding
To be eligible for these benefits, Hertz Fellowship applicants must express their interest in CWRU as part of their initial fellowship application. If they advance as a Hertz Fellowship Finalist, are admitted to CWRU, and choose to enroll in engineering, math or applied physical and biological sciences, they will receive a fully-funded five-year fellowship from CWRU, matching the benefits of a Hertz Fellowship.

- Top talent shortlisted by the highly-selective Hertz Fellowship interview process
- Students pre-vetted with characteristics valued by CWRU, including creativity, commitment to leadership, and lifelong achievement
- Opportunity to support the nation’s most promising young minds in science in technology
HERTZ FELLOW BENEFITS
FUNDING EQUIVALENT TO HERTZ FELLOWSHIP

“In selecting our graduate students, we look for many of the same qualities that the Hertz Foundation looks for in selecting its finalists and fellows: knowledge, creativity, commitment to leadership and lifelong achievement. We know from experience that anyone selected as a Hertz Finalist is going to be exactly the kind of student that will fit in here.”
