Sanja Jagesic '08 was awarded the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans based on her merit. A senior at Wellesley, Jagesic is a sociology and German double major who recently received news of this $72,000 scholarship towards "achieving leadership in her chosen field."
Only 30 applicants are accepted each year for this fellowship, one of the most prestigious. The competition is fierce not just by numbers alone; many applicants are graduate students pursuing Ph.D.s, law degrees, or medical degrees already.
