About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy Baghdad Public Diplomacy Section seeks applicants to implement the English Access Microscholarship Program for Central and Southern Iraq, with applications due August 28, 2026. The program funds English-language instruction for Iraqi youth to support access to higher education, employment, exchange programs, and global engagement. Eligible applicants are registered nonprofit organizations, think tanks and civil society NGOs, public and private educational institutions, public international organizations, and individual Iraqi and U.S. citizens; for-profit entities are ineligible. Cost share requirements are not specified in this announcement. Award size and the number of awards to be made vary and are available in the full grants.gov announcement. The period of performance and place of performance are not specified; however, the program explicitly targets Central and Southern Iraq. The funding is issued under Assistance Listing 19.021 (Investing in People in The Middle East and North Africa), administered by the Department of State Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. Recent awards under this program are typically modest in scale, ranging from $19,000 to $240,000, with a portfolio average reflecting both smaller microscholarship-type grants and larger institutional support awards. A technical review panel scores proposals according to published review criteria. The program aligns with U.S. Mission Iraq objectives including promotion of U.S. excellence and values, strengthening U.S.-Iraqi economic ties, and supporting entrepreneurship development in Iraq.
