Julian Schwinger Fellowship

The Julian Schwinger Fellowship, supported by the generosity of the Julian Schwinger Foundation, is in honor of Julian Schwinger’s time at Columbia as a theoretical physics doctoral student in the Department of Physics, under the guidance of statesman and scientist I. I. Rabi. With this gift, the Foundation aspires to support brilliant Columbia physicists, who may have the chance to revolutionize physics and the world.  In selecting a Julian Schwinger Graduate Fellow, preference shall be given to for students who are pursuing or intending to pursue PhD dissertation research in the area of theoretical or experimental physics with a clear connection to experimentally observable physical phenomena.
