Grant Programs
Alumni Grants Program
To extend the exchange experience for alumni of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs' programs the Bureau has created the State Alumni web-based interactive directory. This site will help alumni stay in touch with each other, with American colleagues and program organizers, and with program coordinators in the State Department.
The U.S. Embassy offers Democracy Outreach grants (aka “alumni grants”) to alumni of any
-
public or community service programs;
-
development of alumni associations and support of networking events;
-
developing and publishing textbooks, brochures or educational materials;
-
and associated travel grants or grants for professional development on a cost-share basis.
Grant proposals can be for up to $5,000, and are awarded on a competitive basis to provide grants to individual alumni or to organizations that have USG program alumni as members. The Embassy reviews grant proposals on a rotating basis; grant proposals should be submitted by the following deadlines: January 15, April 15, and July 15, 2009.
