Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship

The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans invests in the graduate education of New Americans-immigrants and children of immigrants-who are poised to make significant contributions to US society, culture or their academic field. Each Fellow receives up to $90,000 in financial support over two years, and they join a lifelong community of New American Fellows. The Fellows can study in any degree-granting program in any field at any university in the United States. Selection is based on merit – the specific selection criteria emphasize creativity, originality, initiative and sustained accomplishment.
