Description:
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 and to partake of the American dream. Fellows
must have shown potential in the fields for which they seek
further education; the capacity for creativity, persistence
and work; and the commitment to the values of the United States
Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which protect the American
dream. The program is established in recognition of the contributions
'new Americans' have made to American life and in gratitude
for the opportunities the United States has afforded the donors
and their family.
