About this opportunity
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs within the Department of State seeks proposals to design and implement five Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders from the Western Hemisphere. Three institutes will take place in summer 2025 focusing on civic engagement, entrepreneurship, and women's leadership, while two will occur in winter 2026. Eligible applicants include U.S. academic and nonprofit institutions meeting IRC 501(c)(3) requirements who can host approximately 20 undergraduate students from the region per institute for a five-week academic program and study tour. Proposals must address institute themes, operations, diversity, monitoring and evaluation plans, and follow-on engagement with the March 19, 2024 deadline.
The cooperative agreements provide $1.6 million in annual funding for one base year and two additional continuation years, totaling $4.8 million to support approximately 100 participants across the five institutes.

Synopsis
The Study of the U.S. Branch (ECA/A/E/USS), Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), invites proposal submissions for the design and implementation of five (5) Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSIs) for Student Leaders from the Western Hemisphere. Three Institutes will take place over five weeks in summer 2025 and two Institutes will take in place in winter 2026. Each Institute will focus on a theme that reflects U.S. foreign policy priorities in the region. The themes selected for these Institutes are Civic Engagement and Democracy, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development, and Women's Leadership for Indigenous and Afro-Latina Women. The Study of the U.S. Institutes for Student Leaders from the Western Hemisphere will provide multinational groups of undergraduate students from the Western Hemisphere, primarily from indigenous, Afro-Latino, or underserved communities, with a deeper understanding of U.S. society, culture, values, and institutions. Four Institutes will be conducted in Spanish and one program will be conducted in English. Each academic Institute will be approximately five weeks in duration and will include a four-week academic residency at a U.S. academic institution and a one-week integrated study tour that will expose the foreign undergraduate students to a community (or multiple communities) representing a culture and/or region distinct from that of their academic residency. Each Institute will host approximately 20 participants, for a total of approximately 100 foreign undergraduate students across all five Institutes.
