Grants and Fellowships

Soros Fellowship

The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans provides opportunities for continuing generations of able and accomplished New Americans to achieve leadership in their chosen fields. All applicants must be either resident aliens (e.g. hold a Green Card), naturalized U.S. citizens, or children of two parents who are both naturalized citizens.

The Soros Foundation annually awards thirty scholarships of $20,000, plus half of the tuition owed to the graduate school program of the applicant’s choice, for a period of two years. 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.

Applications are due from seniors in early November, and candidates should expect to participate in an interview as the vetting process transpires.

Liaison: Professor Robert Strong (Politics) or Associate Dean Ikeda
