Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans . . . [FND] (01.12.01)


Subject: Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans
Information as of August 10, 2001

********************************************************************** 

SCOPE: The purpose of The Paul and 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. The Fellowships support up to two years of graduate 
study in the U.S.

DEADLINE: November 30. 

FUNDS: The program awards 30 fellowships each year. Each year the 
Fellow receives a maintenance grant of $20,000 and a tuition grant of 
one-half the tuition cost of the U.S. graduate program attended by the 
Fellow.

ELIGIBILITY: 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. A Green Card holder must have had more than one year of IRS 
filings. Applicants must not be older than 30 years of age as of 
November 30.

The applicant must either have a bachelor's degree or be in her/his 
final year of undergraduate study. Those who have a bachelor's degree 
may already be pursuing graduate study and may receive Fellowship 
support to continue that study. Individuals who are in the third, or 
subsequent, year of study in the same graduate program are not, 
however, eligible for this competition. Students who have received a 
master's degree in a program and are continuing for a doctoral degree 
in the same program are considered to have been in the same program 
from the time they began their work on their master's degree. 

AREAS: A Fellow may pursue a graduate degree in any professional field 
(e.g., engineering, medicine, law, social work, etc.) or scholarly 
discipline in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences. The 
Fine and Performing Arts are included.
