FY 2025 Community College Initiative Program: The Office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for the FY 2025 Community College Initiative (CCI) Program. ECA is seeking proposal submissions for one cooperative agreement to design, implement, and oversee the CCI Program. The program advances America’s security and prosperity by equipping foreign students, many from regions vulnerable to radicalization or illegal immigration, with technical skills in critical industries. With improved technical, professional, and entrepreneurial skills, the participants return home to contribute to economic growth and stability in countries of strategic importance to the United States.U.S. public and private non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) that represent consortia or other combinations of accredited U.S. community colleges may submit only one proposal to cooperate with the Bureau under this competition. Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization. In cases where more than one submission from an applicant appears in grants.gov, ECA will only consider the submission made closest in time to the NOFO deadline; that submission would constitute the one and only proposal ECA would review from that applicant. Please see the NOFO for additional information.
