Executive Summary: The Office of Academic Exchange Programs of the
Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for an assistance award to provide administrative services for the FY 2011 Global Undergraduate Exchange Program for East Asia and the Pacific and the Western Hemisphere (Global UGRAD Program for EAP and WHA). Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in IRS regulation 26 CFR 1.501(c)(3) may submit proposals to cooperate with the Bureau in the administration and implementation of academic exchange activities for promising undergraduate students from underrepresented sectors of the population in East Asia and the Pacific and the Western Hemisphere. For a list of participating countries by region, please see the Project Objectives, Goals, and Implementation document (POGI) that accompanies this announcement. Organizations must apply to administer the program in both geographic regions. Pending the availability of funds it is anticipated that the total amount of funding available for all FY 2011 activities will be $4,200,000 and will involve the management of approximately 170 students.

I. Funding Opportunity Description

Authority

Overall grant making authority for this program is contained in the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, Public Law 87–256, as amended, also known as the FulbrightHays Act. The purpose of the Act is ‘‘to enable the Government of the United States to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries * * *; to strengthen the ties which unite us with other nations by demonstrating the educational and cultural interests, developments, and achievements of the people of the United States and other nations * * * and thus to assist in the development of friendly, sympathetic and peaceful relations between the United States and the other countries of the world. ’’ The funding authority for the program above is provided through legislation.

Purpose

The U.S. Department of State is dedicated to increasing its engagement with undergraduate student leaders worldwide who represent indigenous, disadvantaged or underrepresented communities. ECA’s outreach includes providing merit-based programs for underserved sectors of society that increase participants’ knowledge and understanding of the United States.

The principal objective of the Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (hereafter referred to as the Global UGRAD Program) is to provide a substantive exchange experience at a U.S. college or university to a diverse group of emerging student leaders from underrepresented sectors of the population in East Asia and the Pacific and the Western Hemisphere. The award recipient will ensure that participants are enrolled full-time in a non-degree course of study at U.S. institutions alongside American peers, and will provide the participants with opportunities to experience American society, institutions, and culture in and out of the classroom. Program participants will return to their home
countries at the conclusion of the exchange program to complete their degrees in their home colleges and universities, and to re-integrate with
their home societies.

The Global UGRAD Program will provide no less than 170 scholarships for non-degree academic study at institutions of higher education to outstanding students from non-elite
sectors. This number includes 40 one academic year and 50 one-semester scholarships for students from East Asia
and the Pacific and 30 one academic year and 50 one-semester scholarships
for students from the Western Hemisphere. In addition, the award recipient will be responsible for providing pre-academic intensive English language instruction as specified in the POGI. Scholarships will be granted to students currently enrolled in an undergraduate program in their home country, and who will
have at least a semester of coursework to complete before graduating after they finish their Global UGRAD program and return to their home country. The award recipient will place one-semester and one-academic year program participants in non-degree programs at both U.S. four-year colleges and universities, and community colleges.

The award recipient will enhance the participants’ academic education by developing enrichment activities that include having students make local presentations about their countries, performing community service, and taking part in internships. All participants will be required to return to their home countries immediately upon the conclusion of their scholarship program. ECA will not consider participant transfers from the Global UGRAD Program to any other U.S. institution or Exchange Visitor Program.

The award recipient will make all university placements and serve as the principal liaison among Global UGRAD Program host institutions and ECA. Further details on specific program responsibilities can be found in the POGI. Interested organizations should
read the entire Federal Register announcement for all information prior to preparing proposals. Programs must comply with J–1 visa regulations. Please refer to the Solicitation Package for
further instructions.
