This grant, offered by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is designed to significantly enhance U.S. undergraduate study abroad opportunities. The program supports the development of new or expanded study abroad initiatives through strategic exchanges involving faculty, administrators, or students. Its core purpose is twofold: to either bolster the U.S. recipient organization’s administrative capacity for study abroad programs or to strengthen eligible foreign partner institutions’ ability to provide quality academic offerings specifically for U.S. undergraduate students. Public or private non-profit organizations, as defined by Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3), are invited to apply. Approximately $1,800,000 in total funding is available to achieve these capacity-building objectives.
