Agency Name: U.S. Mission to India
Description:

The Embassy of the United States in New Delhi announces an open competition for past participants (“alumni”) of U.S. government-funded and U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs to submit applications to the 2024 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF 2024). We seek proposals from teams of at least two alumni that meet all program eligibility requirements below. 

Decades of exchange programs administered by the Public Diplomacy section at the U.S. Mission in India (PD India) have generated one of the largest and most diverse professional networks in the world, with thousands of Indians including the Tibetan Community- in -Exile and Bhutanese citizens. Mission India views alumni as upcoming or current leaders in their specializations. PD India has a strong interest in deepening its relationship with these alumni to promote positive change in Indian society through social impact projects as diverse as entrepreneurship, education, environment, youth empowerment, and women’s empowerment.

 

Mission India wishes to encourage exchange program alumni across India and Bhutan to apply for Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund to strengthen the relationship with our alumni network by providing financing of their social impact projects
