The U.S. Department of State, through its Public Diplomacy Programs (CFDA 19.040), awarded a $400,000 project grant to Centro Colombo Americano De Medellin, a minority-owned, nonprofit educational institution in Medellin, Colombia. The grant will fund the implementation of two cohorts of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Fellowship Program (MLK Program) from 2024-2025 and 2026-2027, which provides English language training, leadership development, and cultural exchange opportunities for minority university students in Colombia. The grant includes a no-cost amendment to incorporate a certification provision related to compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws. This project aligns with the Public Diplomacy Programs' objective of advancing U.S. foreign policy goals through strategic cultural and educational engagement to inform and influence foreign publics, strengthen bilateral relationships, and enhance national security.
