Current doctoral candidate Max Gotts and alumni Carina Shiau ’21 and Syed Tahmid Mahbub ’17 were among the 30 recipients of the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship, which provides merit-based funding for immigrants and children of immigrants to pursue graduate education in the United States.

Awardees were selected from a pool of over 2,600 applicants and will receive up to $90,000 towards their graduate studies. Since 1998, more than 800 fellows from over 100 countries have received upwards of $80 million to pursue graduate degrees in a variety of fields, ranging from medicine to law, neuroscience, engineering and the arts.
