Soros Fellowships for New Americans
The purpose of the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans is
to provide opportunities for continuing generations of able and
accomplished New Americans to achieve leadership in their chosen fields.
To that end, the program provides support for graduate study in a wide
variety of fields. Under the terms of the program, a "New American" is
an individual who: (1) is a resident alien; i.e., holds a Green Card; or
(2) has been naturalized as a U.S. citizen; or (3) is the child of two
parents who are both naturalized citizens. Candidates must demonstrate
the relevance of graduate education to their long-term career goals and
potential in enhancing their contributions to society.  Applications are
strongly encouraged from candidates who have not yet begun their
graduate studies, but full consideration will be given to candidates in
the first or second year of graduate studies in their current program.
To be eligible, an applicant must not be older than thirty years of age
as of November 1, 2005. Fellows will receive an annual maintenance grant
of $20,000 and a tuition grant equivalent to one-half the tuition cost
of the U.S. graduate program attended by the fellow (up to a maximum of
$16,000 per academic year).
DEADLINE: November 1, 2005
