Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans
The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans program honors the contributions of immigrants and children of immigrants to the United States. Each year, we invest in the graduate education of 30 New Americans–immigrants and children of immigrants–who are poised to make significant contributions to US society, culture, or their academic field.
