The Office of Academic Exchange Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition to administer the FY2010 Global Undergraduate Exchange Program for Pakistan. Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) in the United States may submit proposals to organize and carry out academic exchange activities for students from underrepresented sectors in Pakistan. The recipient organization will be responsible for the following aspects of the program: placement of no less than 100 foreign students at accredited U.S. institutions (50 for fall semester 2010, 50 spring semester 2011) student travel to the U.S., orientation, enrichment programming, advising, monitoring and support, pre-return activities, evaluation, and follow-up with program alumni. Support for this program is being provided from special FY2009/FY2010 supplemental funds that have been appropriated to the Department. It is anticipated that the total amount of funding for FY2010 administrative and program costs will be $2,000,000 pending availability of funds.
