Partnerships for Learning Undergraduate Studies Program: Under the Partnerships for Learning Initiative, the Bureau created the Partnerships for Learning Undergraduate Studies (PLUS) Program in order to reach a broader sector of college-age youth (generally, 17-22 years of age) from diverse backgrounds and provide them with a greater understanding of U.S. institutions, society and culture. The goal of the PLUS Program is to identify and support undergraduate level study at accredited higher education institutions in the United States for a select cadre of academically talented undergraduate students from the Middle East and North Africa who exhibit leadership potential in contributing to the economic, political and social development of the region. PLUS scholarships are offered for the final two years of undergraduate level study in the social sciences and humanities, with the provision of pre-academic training to develop participant academic readiness and English-language abilities. (The pre-academic training program is detailed under a separate Request for Grant Proposals solicitation.) The program participants should be placed in clusters. In general five to ten participants may be placed in a single institution. In negotiation with the host institution, the cooperating agency needs to develop opportunities for students to receive a U.S. degree upon successful completion of the course of work and other requirements.
