Congratulations to EEPr student Andre Ye, who has been selected for the esteemed Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans!
The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans is a merit-based fellowship supporting immigrants and children of immigrants pursuing graduate education in the U.S. This year, 30 Fellows were selected out of more than 2,600 applicants for their past achievements and future promise to make significant contributions to American society. Fellows will receive up to $90,000 to fund graduate studies for two years.
“I grew up feeling that children of East and South Asian immigrants were supposed to make a very specific kind of technical or engineering contribution in science and technology. I didn’t think of fields like philosophy, history or literature as places where I was poised to contribute. This impression, of course, was deeply changed by the wonderful experiences I’ve had in these disciplines at UW,” Ye shared.
