The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans - Graduate Study

 Do you plan to pursue graduate study? If you are an immigrant or child of immigrants who will be a college senior this fall, a college graduate who is applying to graduate school this fall, or someone in the first or second year of a graduate program you’ll be in during the 2026-2027 academic year, learn about  The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans, a $90,000 fellowship for immigrants and children of immigrants going to graduate school in the United States. You can be pursuing any type of professional or graduate degree—including master’s degrees, MFAs, JDs, PhDs, MDs, MBAs, MPPs, and the list goes on! 

 

The program is looking for outstanding students who are hard-working, creative, willing to ask big questions, and aiming to make a significant contribution to American society or their academic field.
