Opportunity Summary:
The All India Access Summer Camp grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NDRFP14-06) is a U.S. Mission to India initiative administered through the Regional English Language Office (RELO) at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi. It sits under CFDA 19.022 (Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs) and is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the education category. The program builds on the English Access Microscholarship Program, which provides English language learning opportunities for talented youth ages 13 to 20 from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. In India, Access is delivered through 15 programs across 14 locations, overseen by RELO and implemented by local NGOs.
The core purpose of the award is to fund the organization and full management of a national-level summer camp that brings together approximately 45 Access students and 15 Access teachers for seven full days in a countryside location in India, scheduled for May or June 2015. While the implementing organization would handle planning and operations, the U.S. Embassy RELO would select the participating students and teachers from existing Access sites. A key operational requirement is that at least four trained American camp counselors be present to design, lead, and supervise all camp activities and to help oversee the broader management of the camp experience.
Programmatically, the camp is designed to be immersive and English-only, with all activities conducted in English to maximize meaningful practice and confidence building for participants. The student-focused content is expected to blend language learning with structured engagement around cross-cultural understanding and major global issues. Topics specifically highlighted include sustainable development, volunteerism, and leadership. Through a mix of counselor-led sessions and interactive activities, students are expected to learn about cultural differences both within India and across regions of the United States, while also strengthening teamwork, communication, and leadership skills.
A major outcome expected for student participants is the creation of an actionable community project. During the week, students should plan and design a project tied to a chosen global issue, with the intent that they can return home and implement it locally. This element emphasizes practical application and civic engagement, turning camp discussions into a concrete plan that connects English use with problem-solving and community impact.
Alongside the student program, the camp includes a parallel professional development component for the 15 Access teachers. Teachers are to receive one week of intensive training focused on current English Language Teaching (ELT) methods and on strategies for integrating global issues into English instruction. By the end of the camp, teachers should be prepared to design educational projects and classroom-ready activities connected to themes such as climate change, food security, and religious diversity, and then implement these projects within their Access classes and schools. Importantly, RELO will select and pay for the teacher trainer, meaning applicants should be prepared to coordinate with a trainer chosen by the Embassy rather than independently selecting that individual.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $120,000. The expected award range is $100,000 to $125,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants include U.S. or otherwise qualifying private and public institutions of higher education (including public/state-controlled institutions) and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than IHEs). The posting date was June 24, 2014, with an application deadline of July 24, 2014, and an archive date of August 23, 2014. For access issues or administrative questions, the listing directs applicants to contact the Grants Applications Manager at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi.
