Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans

The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans is designed to provide opportunities for continuing generations of able and accomplished New Americans to achieve leadership in their chosen fields. 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 US citizen, or (3) is the child of two parents who are both naturalized citizens. The Program is open to individuals who retain loyalty and a sense of commitment to their country of origin as well as to the United States, but is intended to support individuals who will continue to regard the United States as their principal residence and focus of national identity. Each year the Fellow receives a maintenance grant of $20,000 and a tuition grant of one-half the tuition cost of the United States graduate program attended by the Fellow.
