Specifically, the program should provide full tuition awards for a minimum of 600 scholarships total (Applicants are not required to submit an application for all 600 scholarships since USAID plans to make at least two awards).

Applicants will also explore the possibility of providing scholarship opportunities at quality public not for profit universities. Students will be expected to complete their undergraduate degree within four years (if English language training is not required) or five years if the student requires English language training. For those students pursing degrees in disciplines such as Engineering, which require five years to complete, students will be provided five to six years depending on their English language skills. All students should complete their degrees within the eight-year time frame of this program. The eight years are intended to allow three cohorts of students to finish their undergraduate studies.Applicants are encouraged to promote gender balance and geographic diversity in the distribution of the scholarships.
