Description
The Office of Academic Exchange Programs of the Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open
competition for the administration of the FY 2013 Tunisia
Undergraduate Scholarship Program (Tunisia UGRAD). The
total amount of funding for this award will be up to
$4,625,000. Public and private non-profit organizations
meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code
section 26 USC 501(c)(3) in the United States may submit
proposals to organize and carry out an academic exchange
program for students from underrepresented sectors and
parts of Tunisia aimed at providing participants with a
deeper understanding of American culture and new globallyapplicable skills and expertise to help them contribute to 2
the economic growth and development of their country. The
recipient organization will be responsible for the
following aspects of the program: recruitment, selection
and placement of up to 111 Tunisian students for one
academic year at accredited American institutions;
roundtrip student travel to the United States; predeparture orientation; enrichment programming; advising;
monitoring and support; pre-return activities; evaluation;
follow-up with program alumni; and managing/coordinating
private-sector contributions to the program. It is expected
that up to 37 Tunisian students will participate each
academic year for three consecutive years. Support for this
program is being provided from the FY 2012/FY 2013 Middle
East Response Fund (MERF) resources that have been
transferred to the Bureau for obligation in FY 2013.
