Opportunity Summary:
The Community College Administrator Program with Indonesia was a FY 2013 grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), run through its Office of Global Educational Programs. The competition sought one organization to partner with ECA under a cooperative agreement to administer and deliver a six-week exchange program in the United States for Indonesian participants. The target group was Indonesian officials involved in higher education planning, along with administrators from Indonesia's post-secondary vocational and technical institutions. The overall aim was to expose these education leaders to the U.S. community college model and practical approaches to strengthening vocational, technical, and community-oriented higher education.
The program design was clearly structured into two parts. First, participants would take part in a one-week executive dialogue and program overview that focused on how the U.S. community college sector addresses educational development challenges, including the role community colleges play in access, workforce preparation, and local economic needs. Second, the exchange would continue with a five-week seminar focused on core functions of community college administration. Key seminar topics included governance and institutional management, finance and budgeting, student affairs and student services, program assessment and quality improvement, leadership development, educational technology, workforce development strategies, community engagement, partnerships with the private sector, and distance learning. In practice, a successful administering organization would be expected to coordinate the academic and professional components of the exchange, organize the sequence of learning activities, and ensure the experience is coherent and relevant to Indonesian institutional contexts.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State would likely remain actively involved in program direction and oversight rather than simply issuing funds with minimal engagement. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000. Cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants needed to contribute resources beyond the federal award, whether through direct funding, in-kind contributions, waived fees, or other allowable forms of support described in the full announcement.
Eligibility centered on accredited U.S. colleges and universities as well as other qualified U.S. organizations, including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status. Eligible applicants specifically included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and qualifying nonprofit organizations that are not institutions of higher education. The funding opportunity was posted on February 22, 2013, and closed on April 19, 2013, with an archive date of April 20, 2013. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 19.408, Academic Exchange Programs.
