>Below you will find information on a call for applications for the 
>Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans.
>
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
>Deadline: November 1, 2008
>
>The purpose of the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans 
>(<http://www.pdsoros.org>http://www.pdsoros.org/) is to provide 
>opportunities for continuing generations of able and accomplished 
>New Americans to achieve leadership in their chosen fields.
>
>The fellowships are grants for up to two years of graduate study in 
>the United States. A fellow may pursue a graduate degree in any 
>professional field (e.g., engineering, medicine, law, social work) 
>or scholarly discipline in the humanities, social sciences, and 
>sciences. The fine and performing arts are included.
>
>Under the terms of the program, a "New American" is 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. The program is open 
>to individuals who retain loyalty and a sense of commitment to 
>their country of origin as well as to the United States, but is 
>intended to support individuals who will continue to regard the 
>United States as their principal residence and focus of 
>national identity.
>
>To be eligible, applicants must not be older than thirty years of 
>age as of November 1, 2008. The applicant must either have 
>a bachelor's degree or be in her/his final year of 
>undergraduate study. Those who have a bachelor's degree may already 
>be pursuing graduate study and may receive fellowship support to 
>continue that study. Individuals who are in the third, or 
>subsequent, year of study in the same graduate program are not, 
>however, eligible for this competition. Students who have received a 
>master's degree in a program and are pursuing a doctoral degree in 
>the same program are considered to have been in the same program 
>from the time they began their work on their master's degree.
>
>Thirty fellowships are awarded each year. Each year of the program, 
>the fellow will receive a 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.
>
>Visit the program's Web site for complete
