The Tibor T. Polgar Undergraduate Fellowship program is a student research program of the Hudson River Foundation (HRF) conducted in cooperation with DEC. The objectives of the program are to enhance opportunities for undergraduate students to conduct scientific and public policy research with a specific focus on aspects of the Hudson River, its watershed, and the people who live there.
Named in honor of Tibor T. Polgar, a major participant in the early planning and development of the Foundation, the program provides a summer grant ($5,500 for each fellowship) and research funds (up to $1,500) for up to eight undergraduate students to conduct research on the Hudson River, under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Mentors to receive a $1,000 honorarium. The deadline for applications is February 13, 2023.
A primary goal of the program is to introduce and expose students to the research process through a career-stage appropriate, summer research experience, guided by strong mentoring. The Foundation encourages all interested students, including those with no prior research experience, to apply. For more information on the Polgar Fellowship and application requirements please visit the Hudson River Foundation website.
