Grant Description

Saudi Young Leaders Exchange Program (SYLEP) The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh is pleased to announce an open competition for the Saudi Young Leaders Exchange Program (SYLEP) through this Request for Proposals (RFP). Public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code 26 USC 501 (c) (3) may submit proposals to support English-speaking undergraduate students from Saudi Arabia in a three-week U.S.-based exchange program in June 2014 that explore the themes of leadership development, civic rights and responsibilities, respect for diversity, and community engagement. The program should continue after the U.S.-based exchange with follow-on activities in the participantsу home communities, including through alumni activities focused on leadership development. A total of 20-24 participants would travel to the United States in up to two delegations from Saudi Arabia in June 2014. U.S. Embassy Riyadh funding will support the planning and implementation of U.S.-based programming, including a period of homestays with American families, and participant international travel. The U.S. Embassy Riyadh and the U.S. Consulates in Jeddah and Dhahran will recruit, screen, and select the participants and support program alumni, in coordination with the award recipient. Pending the availability of funds, it is U.S. Embassy Riyadhуs intent to award one cooperative agreement for an estimated total amount of $250,000.
