Tomorrow's Leaders Graduate (TLG) Program: The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC) announces a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Tomorrow’s Leaders Graduate (TLG) program to provide scholarship opportunities for individuals from Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries and territories with significant Muslim populations, to attend American, independent, not-for-profit, higher educational institutions, based in the MENA region and accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-sanctioned regional institution. Eligible universities must have institutional accreditation and maintain this accreditation throughout the course of the project. Eligible universities must include in their annexes proof of accreditation. TLG is an innovative leadership training opportunity that aims to build a cadre of professional leaders who are civic minded, intellectually capable, and professionally skilled to become future leaders in their communities and respective countries. This project fulfills the Middle East Partnership Initiative’s (MEPI) strategic framework objectives to: a) provide socio-economically disadvantaged individuals with opportunities to build leadership skills, and to effectively engage with civil society, the private sector, and/or government actors, and b) increase workforce employability and improve access to higher value opportunities through demand-driven professional training and targeted, localized job placement, primarily in the private sector. This project contributes to Bureau Goal 4 in the Joint Regional Strategy for the Middle East and North Africa: Advance accountable and responsive governance through strengthening democratic principles and fundamental freedoms.
