One-time Competitive Grants Program - Competition A - Academic Programs

The deadline is April 12, 2010.

ECA will accept proposals for the design and implementation of an Intensive English Language Study Program consisting of a program with approximately 80 qualified foreign undergraduate students. Students will come from underserved communities from countries in the Middle East/North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central America (including the Caribbean), South/Central Asia, and East Asia/Pacific regions. Based on the academic schedules of students in these regions, programs will take place at colleges or universities in the United States between May 2011 and September 2011. Participants will be identified and nominated by the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the relevant U.S. Embassies and in some cases Fulbright Commissions, with confirmation of final selection made by ECA. International travel and costs associated with pre-departure and return travel within the participant's home country will be coordinated and funded separately by ECA. Host institutions will be responsible for ensuring that all participants return to their home country immediately following the conclusion of the program. The distinct subject matter of this funding opportunity necessitates a thorough review of the official program guidance referenced at the URL provided in the contact section of this summary.
