FY 2018 Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Summer Institute: The Office of Citizen Exchanges, Youth Programs Division, of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the FY 2018 Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Summer Institute. U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3), including accredited, post-secondary U.S. educational institutions, may submit proposals to provide a four-week U.S.-based institute in the summer of 2019. The Institute will engage 45 teenagers (ages 15-18) from Europe and 10 teenagers from the United States. U.S. Embassies throughout Europe will recruit and select the foreign participants, and the U.S. award recipient will recruit and select the American participants. The Institute will focus on transatlantic relations, leadership development, critical thinking, diplomacy, community activism, and the media as ways that young adults can unite around their common goals. Support for individual or small group follow-on projects in the participants' home communities will complete the program. Applicants may submit only one proposal under this competition. If multiple proposals are received from the same applicant, all submissions will be declared ineligible and receive no further consideration in the review process.
