About the Soros Fellowship for New AmericansThe Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans is a $90,000 merit-based fellowship exclusively for immigrants and children of immigrants who are pursuing graduate school in the United States. The program draws nearly 1,800 applications annually for just 30 fellowships. Paul and Daisy Soros, Hungarian immigrants and American philanthropists, established their Fellowship program for New Americans—immigrants and children of immigrants—in December of 1997 with a charitable trust of fifty million dollars. 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. |
