About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) is seeking proposals for a cooperative agreement to design, implement, and oversee the FY 2025 Community College Initiative (CCI) Program. The CCI Program aims to bring approximately 120 foreign emerging leaders to study at accredited U.S. community colleges for up to one academic year, focusing on building technical and professional skills while deepening participants' understanding of the United States. Eligible applicants include U.S. public and private non-profit organizations with 501(c)(3) status that represent consortia or other combinations of accredited U.S. community colleges. The program requires comprehensive services including participant recruitment, placement, orientations, academic coursework, internships, cultural activities, and alumni engagement. The application deadline is February 18, 2025, and the anticipated award date is May 15, 2025.
The program is funded through the Academic Exchange Programs - Undergraduate Programs (CFDA 19.009) and has an estimated total value of approximately $5,625,000. The cooperative agreement will have substantial ECA involvement in participant selection, placements, and program direction. The program is expected to take place at accredited U.S. community colleges, with activities focused on fields such as Agriculture, Applied Engineering, Business/Entrepreneurship, Creative Economy/Media, Early Childhood Education, and Information Technology.

Update #2 ·
The Office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for the FY 2025 Community College Initiative (CCI) Program. ECA is seeking proposal submissions for one cooperative agreement to design, implement, and oversee the CCI Program. The CCI Program aims to bring foreign emerging leaders for an intensive program at accredited U.S. community colleges, focused on building technical and professional skills while deepening participants' understanding of the United States, its people, and its values. CCI participants may study at a U.S. community college for up to one academic year and are often from underrepresented audiences. Program content, duration of study, and participating countries will align with U.S. foreign policy priorities and emerging global workforce demands.
U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) that represent consortia or other combinations of accredited U.S. community colleges may submit only one proposal to cooperate with the Bureau under this competition. Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization. In cases where more than one submission from an applicant appears in grants.gov, ECA will only consider the submission made closest in time to the NOFO deadline; that submission would constitute the one and only proposal ECA would review from that applicant.
Please see the announcement for additional information.
