Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Leadership Program with Iraq was a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division. The purpose of the grant was to fund the design and implementation of a four-week exchange program in the United States for English-speaking high school students and adult participants from Iraq. The exchange was meant to strengthen participants' understanding of civic education and leadership while encouraging respect for diversity and practical community involvement. A key feature of the program was that it did not end when participants returned home; it required follow-on activities in Iraq so participants could apply what they learned through community-based projects or initiatives.
Only one award was expected under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $535,614, which also served as the award ceiling. The program required cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants needed to contribute resources beyond the federal funds, as specified in the full announcement. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations recognized under IRS 501(c)(3) status, along with other eligible entities as described in the full announcement.
