Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS NBO PAS FY20 005
The FY2021 EducationUSA Opportunity Funds Program, announced by the U.S. Embassy in Kenya, invites organizations to apply for funding to enhance U.S. higher education opportunities for academically talented yet financially disadvantaged Kenyan students.
Key details of the program include:
- **Priority Region**: Activities must occur in both Kenya and the U.S., targeting Kenyan participants. - **Program Objectives**: The selected grantee will work with the Public Affairs Section to support students who qualify for full financial aid but face barriers in covering initial costs such as admission tests, application fees, and travel expenses. The program consists of two phases:
1. **Phase I**: Up to 20 students will receive scholarships to take standardized tests (SAT, ACT), with the grantee managing registrations and logistics. Estimated support is $240 per student, with testing expected between May and July 2021.
2. **Phase II**: Approximately 12 students will receive $2,200 each for travel and settling-in costs to attend U.S. institutions. This includes visa, SEVIS fees, and flights, with travel arrangements and communication handled by the grantee. These students will receive admissions decisions between December and March 2021.
Additional components of the program involve:
- **Student Stipend**: Monthly stipends of $200 will be provided to two selected students who assist the EducationUSA adviser. - **College Application Boot Camp**: A five-day boot camp in June 2021 for 40 students focusing on college application preparation, with logistics such as travel and lodging managed by the grantee. Plans for virtual implementation should also be included if necessary.
- **Pre-Departure Orientation**: A three-day orientation in July 2021 for about 20 students, also requiring detailed logistics management.
The program aims to empower students who are positioned to receive financial support for their studies in the U.S. but require assistance with initial costs.Apply for DOS NBO PAS FY20 005
