January 9, 2023 – The Hertog Foundation announced 60 fellows for its 2023 Humanities at Hertog Fellowships. Our Humanities fellows will spend their January studying great works of literature alongside outstanding peers and a passionate teacher.

 

Works by Jane Austen, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Edith Wharton, and Aldous Huxley will anchor the four online seminars. Capped at 15 fellows, each course offers lively conversation about the fundamental human questions raised by great novels. The seminars are fully subsidized by the Foundation, including all course materials and a stipend to support fellows’ study.

 

The Humanities program is open to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as young professionals. Our fellows represent 36 different colleges and universities, with an average GPA of 3.87. They include a Ukrainian international student at Yale, a chemistry Ph.D. student at MIT, an Afghan refugee at Bard College, and an aide to former Senator Ben Sasse.

 

The Hertog Foundation sponsors several highly competitive and selective educational programs for outstanding individuals who seek to influence the intellectual, civic, and political life of the United States. Learn more about our offerings at HertogFoundation.org. The final application deadline for Summer 2023 fellowships is March 1, 2023.
