Grants For New Americans

[Guest guest]

From the Foundation Cente:

4) Applications Invited for & Daisy Soros Fellowships

for New Americans

Deadline: November 1, 2003

The purpose of the & 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 national

program awards thirty fellowships each year.

To be eligible, an applicant must be 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.

Applicants must not be older than thirty years of age as

of November 1, 2003. The applicant must either have a

bachelor's degree or be in her/his final year of under-

graduate study. Those who have a bachelor's degree and

are already pursuing graduate study may receive fellow-

ship support to continue that study. Individuals who are

in the third (or subsequent) year of study in the same

graduate program are not eligible for the competition.

Candidates must demonstrate the relevance of graduate

education to their long-term career goals and potential

in enhancing their contributions to society.

Each fellowship provides an annual 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. 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 (including

the fine and performing arts), humanities, social sciences,

and sciences.

information, eligibility guidelines, and application

instructions and forms.
