Description
The U.S. Department of State's Embassy in Zambia is seeking an organization to implement a program to manage and disburse EducationUSA program funds. The program aims to connect qualified Zambian students with educational opportunities at U.S. colleges and universities and accredited U.S.-affiliated institutions abroad. The selected organization will act as a third-party recipient to disburse award funds as directed by the U.S. Embassy's Education Outreach Coordinator.
Key aspects of the program include:
• Providing educational opportunities to Zambian students
• Disbursing award funds to support high-achieving, financially limited students
• Cultivating a generation of American-educated Zambian leaders, scientists, and professionals
• Building durable institutional ties and reducing the influence of strategic competitors like China and Russia among Zambia's youth
• Advancing mutual understanding and long-term partnership between the United States and Zambia
