Opportunity Summary:
The Ambassadors Scholarship for Girls Program (AGSP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 674 11 0055) is a discretionary education grant announced by USAID (Agency: USAID Pretoria, South Africa) to support the management of a scholarship fee-payment program for girls in Namibia. The core aim is administrative and programmatic: selecting or supporting the systems and oversight needed to ensure that school fees are paid on behalf of girls participating in the Ambassadors Girls Scholarship Program. In practical terms, this opportunity is focused less on building infrastructure or delivering classroom instruction directly and more on running the scholarship mechanism itself so that eligible students can stay enrolled and attend school without fee-related barriers.
The award is structured as a single grant, with USAID expecting to make one award total. The estimated total funding is $361,655, and both the award ceiling and the award floor are also listed as $361,655, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. The period of performance is five years, so the recipient would be responsible for managing the scholarship fee-payment process, tracking disbursements, and maintaining oversight and accountability across a multi-year timeline. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is restricted to a local competition. Only local NGOs based in Namibia are eligible to apply, which signals that USAID intended the program to be managed by an in-country organization with local presence and operational capacity. The opportunity is associated with CFDA Number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is commonly used for USAID-funded overseas assistance activities.
Key dates from the notice show it was posted on October 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of November 11, 2011, and an archive date of December 11, 2011. That means the solicitation is historical and no longer open, but the details describe how the program was designed and competed at that time. For help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Simon Seema, Regional Acquisition Specialist/Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 27124522066.
