Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Embassy Sarajevo Public Affairs Section is soliciting grant proposals to run the English Access Microscholarship Program (Access) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Access is an education-focused initiative that provides English-language instruction and related enrichment opportunities to disadvantaged youth, including students from urban and rural areas and/or ethnic minority communities. This specific call targets implementation in the cities of Busovaca and Travnik, with programming designed for mixed-ethnicity cohorts of 15- and 17-year-old students and instruction planned to begin in September 2015.
The funded program is expected to cover two years of after-school English classes along with enhancement activities, serving roughly 20 to 25 students in each city. The total budget for the effort may not exceed USD 33,000. The opportunity is structured as a discretionary grant with no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and it falls under the Education funding activity category.
Eligible applicants include U.S. and Bosnian non-profit organizations, U.S. and Bosnian institutes of higher learning, as well as schools and cultural institutions. Applicants are expected to design, implement, and administer the Access program locally in Bosnia and Herzegovina, meaning proposals should clearly describe how the applicant will recruit and serve disadvantaged youth, deliver consistent after-school instruction over the two-year period, and organize meaningful enrichment components that reinforce language learning and engagement across ethnic groups.
Applications must be submitted using mandatory U.S. Embassy-provided documents: the Access Narrative template and the Access Budget Template. An “Access Dictionary†is also referenced as part of the application package. To obtain these required templates and materials, applicants must request them by email from pasovicl@state.gov and gurdae@state.gov. The submission deadline for proposals is August 28, 2015 (funding opportunity number APP2015BIHACCESS). For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Lejla Pasovic, Cultural Assistant, at phone +387 33 704 000 or by email at pasovicl@state.gov.
