Bureau Of Educational and Cultural Affairs
Description
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA)announces an open
competition for one or more assistance awards to administer the Community
College Initiative Program, which will support study by international
undergraduate students at accredited U.S. community colleges. The Program
provides quality educational programs, professional development, employment
skills and a first-hand understanding of American society to underserved, nonelite
international students, particularly women, who already have some work
experience. The Bureau anticipates supporting students from developing
countries in every world region in this program including (subject to change) such
countries as Brazil, Indonesia, Pakistan, and South Africa, as well as other
countries. Community college consortia and other associations of community
colleges meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 501
(c) may submit proposals to cooperate with the Bureau in the administration and
implementation of the 2010 Community College Initiative Program. For planning
purposes, the Bureau invites proposals from eligible organizations for a program
at a total funding level of approximately $8.5 million pending availability of
FY2010 resources. Applicants may apply to administer the entire program or a
portion thereof. Applicant organizations should indicate the number of
participants that can be accommodated at the requested funding level based on
detailed calculations of program and administrative costs. In order to maximize
the number of participants under this program, it is the Bureau’s expectation that
significant institutional and private sector funding and cost sharing will be made
available by cooperating institutions. We anticipate that approximately 250 to
275 students will participate in the FY2010 program.
