The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Office of Assistance Coordination announces a cooperative agreement opportunity through the Tomorrow's Leaders Graduate Program. Eligible applicants are higher education institutions located in Middle Eastern and North African countries that provide accredited graduate degree programs. Applicants must request funding to offer scholarships to students from the MENA region and build their leadership skills in civic engagement, private sector development, and working with government and civil society. Evaluation will consider an applicant's proposal to recruit and select students, provide academic and internship programs, and support socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals. Applications are due by March 20, 2024.
Anticipated total funding amounts to $2.6 million to support one to three awards over five years. Scholarship recipients will attend degree programs at the applicant institutions, which must be accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized body and located in the Middle East or North Africa region. Funding intends to develop a cadre of leaders across the greater MENA area through the Middle East Partnership Initiative program.

TLG is an innovative leadership training opportunity that aims to build a cadre of professional leaders who are civic minded, intellectually capable, and professionally skilled to become future leaders in their communities and respective countries. This project fulfills the Middle East Partnership Initiative's (MEPI) strategic framework objectives to: a) provide socio-economically disadvantaged individuals with opportunities to build leadership skills, and to effectively engage with civil society, the private sector, and/or government actors, and b) increase workforce employability and improve access to higher value opportunities through demand-driven professional training and targeted, localized job placement, primarily in the private sector. This project contributes to Bureau Goal 4 in the Joint Regional Strategy for the Middle East and North Africa: Advance accountable and responsive governance through strengthening democratic principles and fundamental freedoms.
