Georgetown University Law Center received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs under the Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs Appropriation Overseas Grants program (CFDA 19.022). The award, effective December 1, 2025, through July 30, 2027, supports RELO Belgrade's English language public diplomacy programming through the English Language Fellow Program during the 2026-2027 academic year. The English Language Fellow Program recruits and places qualified professionals in Serbia to provide English language instruction and professional development to local audiences, advancing mutual understanding between the United States and Serbia while strengthening bilateral relationships through educational exchange.

As the prime grantee, Georgetown University Law Center will administer fellow recruitment, placement, and oversight activities in coordination with the U.S. Embassy's Regional English Language Office (RELO) in Belgrade. This award reflects the institution's demonstrated expertise in managing English language education and cultural diplomacy initiatives across multiple international regions. The funding supports activities authorized under the Fulbright-Hays Act and contributes to the Department of State's broader foreign policy objective of promoting long-lasting people-to-people ties and showcasing American excellence in education and innovation.
