Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2019 014
The English Access Microscholarship Program for Sulaymaniyah is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Mission to Iraq (Public Affairs Office) to support an organization that can design and run a two-year English-language program for underserved teenagers in Sulaymaniyah. The program is framed as both an educational and youth-development initiative: it aims to expand access to quality English instruction for Iraqi students who are economically disadvantaged and may include internally displaced people (IDPs), while also aligning with broader Mission Iraq goals related to opportunity, civic engagement, and long-term stability.
At its core, the grant supports structured English learning for a demographically diverse group of students ages 13 to 16. Instruction is expected to take place outside regular school hours, typically through after-school or weekend classes, and is paired with intensive summer activities. Over the 24-month period, participants are meant to build practical English skills and confidence, not just for classroom use but for real-life communication and future study or work opportunities. The program is designed to create a strong foundation rather than a short workshop experience, emphasizing sustained learning, regular engagement, and progression over time.
Beyond language skills, the Access model also includes cultural and values-based components. Students are expected to gain exposure to American culture and democratic values as part of the learning experience, which often means integrating topics like civic participation, leadership, community service, critical thinking, and mutual understanding into classroom content and extracurricular activities. The intent is to help students become better positioned to contribute to socio-economic development in their communities and to improve their competitiveness for future U.S. Government-sponsored educational or exchange programs.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary grant under CFDA 19.021. The funding opportunity number is DOS BAGHDAD PD 2019 014. The Embassy anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of up to USD 150,000, contingent on the availability of funds, to cover implementation over a twenty-four month timeframe. The competition opened with a creation date of June 14, 2019, and had an original closing date of July 31, 2019. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, meaning organizations need to consult the official eligibility language to confirm they qualify before applying.
In practical terms, the selected implementer would be responsible for developing the program plan and carrying it through: recruiting and selecting students from the target populations, delivering the English instruction and summer components, and ensuring that the program meets the U.S. Mission’s educational and public diplomacy objectives. The overall goal is to provide a meaningful, sustained pathway for disadvantaged youth in Sulaymaniyah to gain English proficiency, broaden horizons, and access future academic and professional opportunities connected to U.S. programs.Apply for DOS BAGHDAD PD 2019 014
