The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (BEA) awarded $148,000 through the Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs Appropriation Overseas Grants program (CFDA 19.022) on August 1, 2025, for a project-based initiative in Morocco with a completion date of July 31, 2026. This one-year award supports educational and cultural exchange activities designed to promote mutual understanding between the United States and Morocco while advancing U.S. foreign policy objectives in the region. The funding enables the development and implementation of educational initiatives that foster people-to-people connections and strengthen long-lasting diplomatic ties between the two nations.

Under this award, the recipient will deliver educational and cultural programming in Morocco aligned with U.S. interests, which may include activities such as educational advising services, English language programming, alumni engagement initiatives, or workforce development activities. The project requires comprehensive financial and statistical record-keeping for three years following final expenditure reporting and must comply with the U.S. Department of State's Standard Terms and Conditions. The award represents a standard project grant within the program's typical funding range and supports the BEA's broader mission of advancing educational exchange and mutual understanding between the United States and designated countries worldwide.
