Opportunity Summary:
The New Scholarship Program (Funding Opportunity Number 263 10 02) is a USAID/Egypt initiative administered through USAID Cairo that aims to expand access to undergraduate education for promising Egyptian students who demonstrate high financial need. The central purpose of the opportunity is to fund a scholarship program that identifies talented students, supports them through completion of an undergraduate degree, and applies lessons learned and proven practices from earlier scholarship efforts so the program is effective, well-managed, and capable of producing strong student outcomes.
This opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected recipient would work in close coordination with the agency during implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The funding activity category is Education, and it is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The posting date for the announcement was November 5, 2009. The original and final closing date for applications was January 14, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on February 13, 2010. Although the record shows a creation date of August 13, 2014, the operational timeline for applicants is tied to the 2009 posting and 2010 closing dates.
The estimated total funding available under this opportunity is listed as $10,000,000. The notice lists an award ceiling and award floor as $0, which typically indicates that a specific per-award minimum or maximum was not set in the summary fields (or was to be provided in the full announcement) rather than meaning no funding would be awarded. Applicants were also advised that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources toward the total program costs in accordance with the terms detailed in the full solicitation.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of organizational types. Entities such as nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, and educational institutions are indicated as eligible to apply, along with other applicants as further clarified in the announcement’s additional eligibility information. USAID also notes that it encourages applications from potential new partners, signaling openness to organizations that may not have previously implemented USAID-funded programs but can demonstrate the capacity to manage scholarship selection, financial assistance, student support services, reporting, and compliance requirements.
