Bearing the name of its benefactors, the P.D. Soros Fellowship was established in 1998 and has provided funding to over 110 students. Foreign born students or students whose parents have become naturalized citizens are eligible for scholarship consideration. Each fellowship provides funding for tuition and additional expenses applicable to graduate study within the United States. Students applying for a P.D. Soros Fellowship must either currently hold a Green Card as a resident alien, have become a naturalized citizen of the United States, or be the child of parents who have both become naturalized citizens. Fellowships may be awarded students who have obtained their Bachelor's degree or who are enrolled in their final year of undergraduate study. Students already engaged in graduate study are also encouraged to apply. Students awarded P.D. Soros Fellowships will be provided with a maintenance grant of $20,000 in addition to a tuition grant equaling one half of tuition costs. Fellowship funding may be extended for a maximum of two years. All applicants are required complete an application involving two essays, a resume, and related forms. In addition, students are required to secure letters of recommendation from one academic source and one occupational source. All application and recommendation materials are provided on the P.D. Soros Fellowships Web Site. Applications must be received for review and endorsement prior to the national deadline of November 1.
