From the Foundation Cente:

4) Applications Invited for Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships
for New Americans

Deadline: November 1, 2003

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. 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.
