Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAKAB 24 CA 001 SCA 05092024
The U.S. Mission to Afghanistan, through its Public Diplomacy Section (PDS), is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Educational Advising: Supporting Access to Higher Education for Afghans." The program is designed to expand access to higher education for Afghans by delivering structured educational advising services to two main audiences: U.S. public diplomacy program participants and alumni, and current Afghan undergraduate and high school students. The central purpose is to help qualified applicants in Afghanistan who are prepared to pursue higher education successfully identify options and compete for admission to institutions both in the region and in the United States.
At the core of the project is hands-on educational advising provided through both group sessions and individualized advising. These services are meant to increase awareness of available academic pathways and to strengthen applicants' ability to navigate the complex steps involved in applying to international higher education programs. In practice, this kind of advising typically includes guidance on choosing suitable programs and institutions, understanding admissions requirements, preparing application materials, and building readiness for participation in international academic environments. The opportunity emphasizes capacity-building, meaning the advising should not just share information, but also help students develop the skills and confidence needed to apply and succeed.
A key priority of the opportunity is improving access to education for Afghans, with a specific emphasis on supporting Afghan women. Applicants are expected to design programming that meaningfully reaches and serves women and addresses barriers that can limit their access to advising and higher education opportunities. The goal is clearly framed as increasing access to higher education overall while ensuring that women benefit in a focused, intentional way.
Funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the U.S. government expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity has an award ceiling of USD 500,000, and the agency anticipates making one award. The funding opportunity number is SCAKAB 24 CA 001 SCA 05092024, and it is listed under CFDA number 19.501. The posted opportunity was created on May 9, 2024, and the original application closing date is July 7, 2024.
Eligibility is limited to non-profit organizations as prime applicants. While the prime recipient may issue sub-awards or contracts to other entities to support implementation, only one non-profit organization can serve as the primary awardee responsible for the overall program. For-profit entities are not eligible to be the prime recipient under this notice of funding opportunity, and individuals cannot apply. If a proposal includes sub-awards or contracted partners, it must clearly define what each entity will do, so that roles, deliverables, and accountability are transparent. The opportunity also notes that applicants should consult Section D of the NOFO for funding restrictions, which typically outlines limits on allowable costs and other compliance requirements.Apply for SCAKAB 24 CA 001 SCA 05092024
