This document is a Request for Application (RFA) for the English Access Scholarship Program, a two-year global scholarship program supported by the U.S. Department of State and managed by the U.S. Embassy of Tajikistan. The program provides a foundation of English language skills to bright, underserved students, primarily aged 14-15, and exposes them to U.S. culture, global citizenship, and democratic values. The program consists of in-class instruction and off-site activities focused on media literacy and civic engagement themes. The U.S. Embassy is soliciting proposals for a cooperative agreement to administer the program and is offering awards ranging from $24,000 to $50,000 per grantee for two or more sites. The program is funded through the Foreign Assistance Act and anticipated to start on November 30, 2024. The U.S. Embassy will be substantially involved in the program's implementation and oversight.
