Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Poland Parliamentary Youth Exchange Program (US PPYX) is a U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) funding opportunity run through the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division (ECA/PE/C/PY). The program is designed to support a reciprocal educational exchange between the United States and Poland for secondary school students, with a strong emphasis on cultural immersion, civic learning, and community engagement. The core idea is to place students in the partner country for an extended period so they can experience daily life firsthand by living with host families and attending local schools, strengthening mutual understanding and people-to-people ties between the two countries.
Under this competition, ECA planned to make one FY 2012 cooperative agreement award to a single organization to help launch and operate the exchange model. The primary component is a full academic year study-and-homestay exchange during the 2013-2014 school year for about five U.S. students going to Poland and about five Polish students coming to the United States. In addition to that year-long exchange, the award would also support a shorter program in the United States in fall 2012 lasting roughly three to four weeks for about five Polish students. That short-term fall program would include host family stays, school attendance, and structured activities focused on volunteer service and civics education within the host community, reinforcing the program’s parliamentary and civic engagement theme.
The total estimated funding for the opportunity was $100,000, and the award ceiling was also $100,000, meaning the single selected recipient could receive up to that amount. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation compared to a standard grant. The announcement also indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were expected to contribute additional resources (cash and/or in-kind support) alongside federal funds, though the precise expectations are referenced as being detailed in the full announcement.
Eligibility was limited to certain types of U.S. organizations. Applicants could include nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), as well as public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. In practice, the applicant organization would be expected to manage the operational details of a reciprocal exchange program, such as student recruitment and selection, placement with vetted host families, coordination with schools, participant orientations, monitoring and student support, and programming tied to civics and community service. The opportunity was posted on April 23, 2012, and the application deadline was May 24, 2012, with the listing archived on May 25, 2012. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 19.012 (Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs / Special Professional and Cultural Programs).
