Four scholars with Stanford affiliations are among the 30 people who recently received Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans.
One of the Soros fellows is a student at Stanford Medical School. Of the two Stanford alumni who received fellowships, one is pursuing a law degree at Yale University and the other is pursuing a master of fine arts degree in fiction writing at the University of Michigan. The fourth scholar will begin a joint degree program this fall at Stanford, where he is pursuing an MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and an MA at the Stanford School of Education.
Each fellow receives tuition and living expenses of up to $90,000 over two academic years. The fellowships were established for the children of immigrants. Soros scholars are selected on the basis of merit – the specific criteria emphasize creativity, originality, initiative and sustained accomplishment. They may study in any degree-granting program in any field at any U.S. university.
