This grant from the U.S. Mission in Iraq’s Public Affairs Section aims to implement the English Access Micro-scholarship Program for Central and Southern Iraq. This initiative seeks to provide comprehensive English language instruction to non-elite Iraqi youth, aged 13 to 18, through engaging after-school classes and intensive summer activities over a two-year period. The program is designed to not only build foundational English skills but also to foster an appreciation for American culture and democratic values among participants. By enhancing their linguistic abilities and cultural understanding, students will be better equipped to contribute to their country’s socio-economic development and become competitive candidates for future U.S. Government-sponsored educational opportunities. Eligible organizations can propose to secure a grant of up to $380,000 for this twenty-four-month program.
