U.S. Mission to Iraq

Description

The U.S. Mission in Iraq announces an open competition for eligible organizations to submit proposals to develop and implement the English Access Microscholarship Program for Erbil. Public Affairs Office (PA) seeks to provide Iraqi youth with educational opportunities through English-language instruction in accordance with Mission Iraq goals. The English Access Microscholarship Program for Erbil will provide a foundation of English language skills to economically disadvantaged, internally displaced people (IDPs), demographically diverse, 13 to 16 year-old students through after-school or weekend classes and intensive summer activities over a two-year period. Access Program students also gain an appreciation for American culture and democratic values, increase their ability to participate successfully in the socio-economic development of their countries, and gain the ability to compete for and participate in future U.S. Government-sponsored educational programs. Subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy expects to award a grant up to $150,000 to carry out the English Access Microscholarship Program for Erbil over a twenty-four month time frame.
