>OBJECTIVES:
>The Fellowships are grants for up to two years of graduate study in
>the United States. A Fellow may pursue a graduate degree in any
>professional field (e.g., engineering, medicine, law, social work,
>etc.) or scholarly discipline in the Arts, Humanities, Social
>Sciences, and Sciences. The Fine and Performing Arts are included.
>The sponsor strongly encourages applications from candidates who have
>not yet begun their graduate studies, but full consideration will be
>given to candidates in the first or second years of graduate studies
>in their current program.
>
>ELIGIBILITY
>Eligible applicants are "New Americans." A "New American" is an
>individual who is a resident alien; i.e., holds a Green Card or, has
>been naturalized as a U.S. citizen or is the child of two parents who
>are both naturalized citizens. The applicant must either have a
>bachelor's degree or be in her/his final year of undergraduate study.
>Those who have a bachelor's degree may already be pursuing graduate
>study and may receive Fellowship support to continue that study.
>Individuals who are in the third, or subsequent, year of study in the
>same graduate program are not eligible for this competition. Students
>who have received a master's degree in a program and are continuing
>for a doctoral degree in the same program are considered to have been
>in the same program from the time they began their work on their
>master's degree. The applicant must not be older than thirty years of
>age as of November 1, 2005.
>
>FUNDING
>Each year the Fellow receives a maintenance grant of $20,000 (paid
>in two installments) and a tuition grant of one-half the tuition cost
>of the U.S. graduate program attended by the Fellow. The Fellowship
>Program pays the tuition grant directly to the institution. The size
>of the tuition grant depends on the cost of tuition at the institution
>the Fellow attends. Fees are not included in calculating tuition. If
>the program pursued is less than two years (e.g., Public
>Administration), the Fellow receives the amount to cover the period
>required for the degree. It is expected that the Fellow will complete
>the cost of tuition from such other sources as summer employment,
>public and private grant and loan programs for advanced education, or
>matching funds from the graduate institution the Fellow attends. The
>Fellow will be asked to inform the Program of other awards that she/he
>has been offered and may be asked to accept a total award package that
>does not exceed full tuition and required fees, plus $30,000 for
>maintenance from the sponsor. A Fellow may not work during the period
>of the Fellowship without the permission of the Director. (bjv)
