Description
The Professional Fellows Division in the Office of Citizen Exchanges at the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites proposal submissions for the FY 2019 Ngawang Choephel Fellows Program. The Ngawang Choephel Fellows Program is a two-way exchange program designed to expand sustainable, inclusive economic development opportunities within the Tibetan communities of China. ECA intends to issue two grant awards, each for approximately $300,000, to support administrative and program costs required to implement this program. Pending successful implementation of this program and the availability of funds in subsequent fiscal years, ECA intends to renew the grant awards for two additional consecutive fiscal years before openly competing it again. For additional details on awards, please see the full announcement.
