Soros Fellowship for New Americans

About the Soros Fellowship for New Americans

Paul and Daisy Soros both sought higher education in the United States as Hungarian immigrants and their success has enabled them to support the education of young New Americans since 1997. The Fellowships for New Americans provide for two fully-funded years of graduate study for permanent residents or naturalized citizens, or the children of naturalized citizen parents. This award is based on creativity, originality, initiative, and sustained accomplishment; the program emphasizes camaraderie of its fellows through annual conferences and events and ongoing alumni activities. The Fellowship is open to all fields and any degree-granting graduate program.
