About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy Baghdad Public Diplomacy Section is soliciting applications to implement the English Access Microscholarship Program for Central and Southern Iraq, with an application due date of September 3, 2026. Eligible applicants are restricted to registered nonprofit organizations, think tanks and civil society NGOs, public and private educational institutions, and public international organizations; for-profit entities are ineligible. Individual Iraqi and U.S. citizens and organizations may apply.
The program funds English-language instruction for Iraqi youth to increase access to higher education, employment, exchange programs, and broader global engagement in alignment with Mission Iraq goals. Award amounts vary based on program needs and funding availability; recent awards under the parent program (19.021, Investing in People in The Middle East and North Africa) have ranged from $19 thousand to $240 thousand, though the source does not specify the ceiling or expected number of awards for this specific opportunity.
Cost-share or matching requirements are not specified in the source material. Work is performed in Central and Southern Iraq. A technical review panel will score proposals according to published review criteria and make priority recommendations for final award negotiation. The opportunity 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. Non-competing continuation awards may be available for successful implementations. The program emphasizes projects with an American cultural element and strengthens U.S.-Iraqi cultural and educational ties.
