The Office of Private Sector Exchange (BridgeUSA) of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the administration of the FY 2023 BridgeUSA STEM Scholarship Fund. The Office plans to issue one cooperative agreement of approximately $260,000, pending the availability of FY 2022 recovery funds that are being carried over for obligation in FY 2023, to implement the BridgeUSA STEM Scholarship Fund in the academic and professional categories. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to provide approximately 50 STEM scholarships to foreign university students, scholars, and professionals evenly distributed across Africa (AF), East Asia and Pacific (EAP), and Western Hemisphere (WHA) regions. Proposals must include a focus on climate change and should include U.S. partnership collaboration with institutions that focus on various STEM fields shared across continents, including improving understanding of climate systems, developing precision agricultural capabilities, enhancing risk assessment tools, and increasing societal resilience in the face of catastrophic natural or human induced disasters.
