Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans - 2017/18

[Islamahmed]

Hello, everyone! Just thought I should create this year's application cycle thread. Has anyone applied this time around?

[8BitJourney]

I have!  Not going to lie I'm sure my odds are pretty slim but at least I wont have to wait in agony for too long. We'll know early January whether we proceed to the next stage

Sent in my application a few hours to spare!

[Islamahmed]

@8BitJourney @glopez Good luck to you both!

[8BitJourney]

@Islamahmed Thanks! I m surprised there aren't more people reaching out since I know it' a popular scholarship (especially for med school students). C'est  la vie!

Has anyone heard yet?

If its' good news we'll be getting a phone call over the next 2 weeks. Bad news and it'll be an email. Haven't heard yet unfortunately but I'm waiting till the 8th until I count myself out!

I assumed something along those lines, but wanted to check to see if anyone had heard anything. Thanks. Good luck.

Oh also from previous years it seems like those contacted for interviews were asked not to disclose till a certain time so most likely it wont be posted publicly here.

Rejected. Guess I'm prepping for next year!
