Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 006 12222021
The In-Country English Access Microscholarship Program grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of State funding call run through the Regional English Language Office (RELO) at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad. It is looking for a strong implementing partner to design and deliver an English Access Microscholarship Program in Pakistan for 75 academically promising students who are economically disadvantaged, with most participants expected to fall in the 13 to 20 age range. The overall goal is to give these students a solid foundation in English while also helping them build leadership skills, confidence, and broader competencies that can translate into improved education and employment opportunities over time.
At the core of the program is a structured English language training plan totaling 360 instructional hours. The model combines after-school English classes with more intensive sessions during summer and winter breaks, which is meant to sustain learning momentum and provide enough contact time to make measurable progress. The target outcome is to move students up the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) scale from level A to level B, meaning students should progress from basic, beginner-level ability toward an independent user level where they can handle everyday communication more effectively and participate more fully in academic and professional settings.
Beyond language instruction, the program is explicitly framed as a youth development initiative. Proposals are expected to incorporate leadership development and confidence-building components alongside classroom learning. Another intended impact is to strengthen students readiness to compete for and participate in future U.S. exchange and study programs, using improved English proficiency as a gateway skill that expands access to international opportunities and broader educational pathways.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more hands-on partnership with the funding agency compared to a standard grant. The funding opportunity number is SCAISB 22 AW 006 12222021, listed under CFDA 19.501. The agency plans to make one award, with an award ceiling of $100,000, and the award is contingent on the availability of funds. The opportunity was posted on December 22, 2021, with an original application deadline of February 22, 2022. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, indicating that the program may be open to a range of organizations as long as they meet the requirements described in the complete notice.Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 006 12222021
