The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship 2027 is open for eligible New Americans pursuing full-time graduate or professional study in the United States. Thirty Fellows will receive up to $90,000 each over two academic years, with up to $40,000 in tuition support and up to $50,000 in stipend support.
Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship eligibility depends on three big questions: whether you qualify as a New American, whether you are 30 or younger on the deadline date, and whether your graduate or professional program timing fits the official rules.
The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship can provide up to $90,000 over two academic years, split between up to $40,000 in tuition support and up to $50,000 in stipend support. The award is generous, but 'up to $90,000' does not mean every Fellow receives the same amount or that every graduate-school cost is covered.
The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship 2027 application requires two essays of no more than 1,000 words each. The strongest essays connect New American identity, achievement, graduate study and future contribution without repeating the resume or inventing hardship.
