Graduate Scholarships for New Americans and Immigrants

The Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans is offering 30 graduate scholarships for the year 2012.

The scholarships are available to people who are New Americans defined us one of the following:

1. Green card holder

3. Child born in America of Naturalized Citizens

The scholarships are very generous offering up to $25,000 for maintenance and $20,000 for tuition f0r each year of graduate study.

With the rising costs of higher education, if you are contemplating graduate school you owe it to yourself to apply for as many scholarships as you can find.

It is very difficult to focus on your studies if you are always wondering how you are going to pay for your next meal or next class. And graduate school is very demanding, expect not to be able to work much if at all as you have to devote a lot of time to studying.

The deadline for applications is November 1, 2011. Click here for more details.
