Opportunity Summary:
The EDUCATIONUSA STUDENT ADVISING - TUZLA grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number APP010BIHED) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State (DOS-BIH) grant focused on supporting EducationUSA student advising services in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), with additional outreach across Tuzla and nearby surrounding areas. The selected awardee is expected to operate as a local EducationUSA advising presence, helping prospective students and families access reliable, up-to-date information about studying at accredited postsecondary institutions in the United States. The core purpose is to strengthen educational ties and increase student mobility between BiH and the United States by expanding access to high-quality advising and outreach in a region beyond the capital.
EducationUSA itself is described as a global U.S. Department of State network consisting of more than 400 international student advising centers in over 170 countries. Within that framework, the Tuzla-based activity is meant to reflect EducationUSA standards by providing accurate, comprehensive, and current guidance on U.S. higher education opportunities. This includes explaining the complexity of the U.S. higher education system, helping students understand options and pathways, and ensuring information is trustworthy and aligned with accredited U.S. institutions. Beyond direct student support, the EducationUSA network also serves the U.S. higher education community by facilitating overseas outreach, helping institutions develop recruitment strategies, and sharing local context that can shape responsible and effective engagement with international students.
The U.S. Embassy indicates that proposals will be reviewed with an emphasis on several practical and capacity-related factors. Applications are evaluated for compliance with proposal guidelines and required components, the qualifications of the applicant, and the presence of clearly formulated goals that match the objective of increasing U.S.-BiH student mobility. The Embassy also highlights value-for-money considerations such as low implementation costs, along with the likelihood that the project will be sustainable beyond the initial funding period. Finally, applicants must demonstrate the operational capacity to carry out the work, which in this context implies the ability to consistently deliver advising services, plan and execute outreach activities in Tuzla and surrounding communities, and maintain the quality and reliability expected of an EducationUSA advising center.
Key administrative details provided in the listing include an award ceiling of $11,000 and a funding activity category of Education, with CFDA number 19.900. The posting and creation dates are May 27, 2016, and the application deadline is July 10, 2016 (original and current closing dates are the same). The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the opportunity materials for clarification in the additional eligibility information. For application forms or further guidance, the announcement directs interested parties to contact the U.S. Embassy team via SarajevoOPAGrants@state.gov, by phone at +387 33 704-285 or +387 33 704-333, or by fax at +387 33 704-432.
