2026 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships: Open to Undocumented Graduate Students

The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship program is currently accepting applications. Every year, 30 fellows are selected. Fellows receive one to two years of funding towards their graduate study in the United States (totaling up to $90,000 in funding). Fellows are also invited to participate in two conferences in New York City (with all travel expenses paid). The Fellowship program also strives to foster a sense of community among current and past Fellows. To do so, the program facilitates events across the country throughout the year.

This fellowship is open to undocumented students with or without DACA. Students who are undocumented must have graduated from high school and college in the US. You must also be 30 years old or younger as of the application deadline. The Fellowship is open to all fields of study and fully accredited full-time graduate and professional degree programs.

The application requires at least three letters of recommendation (and accept up to 5 letters) so be sure to start asking for your letters of recommendation now.

For more information on how to apply visit their official website.

Applications are due October 30, 2025
