The Tibor T. Polgar Fellowship program is a student research program of the Hudson River Foundation (HRF) conducted in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. This program provides a summer grant ($5,500 for each fellowship) and research funds (up to $1,500) for students to conduct research on the Hudson River, under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Rising juniors and seniors will be prioritized, with exceptions made for students who show special promise after their freshman year. Applications from BIPOC students as well as first generation science (including natural and social sciences and public policy) undergraduates are also encouraged; no prior research experience is required. The objective of the program is to enhance opportunities for students to conduct scientific and public policy research with a specific focus on projects studying the Hudson River, its watershed, and the people who live there. Appropriate topics include: studies of the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the River; or examinations of the social, economic, public policy, and environmental justice issues related to the River and Watershed. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information about the program and the required materials.
