Opportunity Summary:
The EDUCATIONUSA STUDENT ADVISING - BANJA LUKA opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number APP009BIHED) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of State in Bosnia and Herzegovina (DOS-BIH) focused on expanding and strengthening EducationUSA student advising services in Banja Luka and nearby areas. The funded organization or individual would be responsible for operating EducationUSA-style advising activities locally, with an emphasis on outreach that connects students in Banja Luka and the surrounding region to reliable guidance about studying in the United States.
The program sits within the broader EducationUSA network, a U.S. Department of State-supported system of more than 400 international student advising centers across 170+ countries. The core purpose of EducationUSA is to promote U.S. higher education globally by providing accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date information on studying at accredited U.S. postsecondary institutions. Advising typically covers the structure of the U.S. higher education system, identifying best-fit institutions, understanding admissions requirements, preparing competitive applications, and navigating standardized testing, financing, and visa-related basics at an informational level. In parallel, EducationUSA supports U.S. colleges and universities by helping them understand local contexts abroad, strengthening overseas outreach, and informing recruitment strategy. It also serves as a source of clarity for foreign institutions and governments that need help interpreting the complexity of the U.S. education landscape.
In this specific call, the Embassy frames the main outcome as increased student mobility between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina through stronger EducationUSA advising in the Banja Luka region. Proposals are expected to present clearly formulated goals and a plan for delivering advising and outreach effectively, while keeping implementation costs low and showing that the work can be sustained beyond the grant period. The U.S. Embassy indicates it will evaluate submissions based on adherence to proposal guidelines and required components, the applicant's qualifications, the strength and clarity of goals, cost efficiency, sustainability, and demonstrated capacity to execute the project.
Key administrative details include an award ceiling of $11,000 and a closing date of July 10, 2016 (original and current closing dates are the same), with the opportunity posted on May 27, 2016. The activity category is Education, and the CFDA number listed is 19.900. Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility specifics referenced in the full announcement materials. For application forms or further information, applicants are directed to contact SarajevoOPAGrants@state.gov or reach the Embassy by phone at +387 33 704-285 or +387 33 704-333, or by fax at +387 33 704-432.
