Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0007947
The FY 2021 Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSIs) for Student Leaders from Europe grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0007947) is a U.S. Department of State program run through the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), specifically the Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Study of the U.S. Branch (ECA/A/E/USS). It funds the design and delivery of three separate Study of the U.S. Institutes for multinational cohorts of undergraduate student leaders from Europe. The overall purpose is to give participants a structured, immersive experience that deepens their understanding of U.S. society, culture, values, and institutions while also strengthening their leadership skills and building lasting cross-cultural connections with Americans.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State is expected to have substantial involvement in the program during implementation rather than simply providing pass-through funding. The funding is categorized as discretionary, and it is listed under CFDA 19.009. The opportunity was posted on April 8, 2021, with an application deadline of June 7, 2021. The program activities funded under this announcement are intended to take place over five weeks in summer 2022.
Program design is centered on a five-week institute model with two integrated components. First is an academic residency of roughly four weeks hosted on a U.S. college or university campus. This residency is expected to include formal academic content (coursework and seminars) paired with experiential elements that help students connect what they are learning to real communities and real leadership challenges. During the residency, the host should provide weekly community service activities, weekly leadership development sessions, and frequent interaction with a wide range of American speakers and peers to ensure exposure to diverse viewpoints and lived experiences in the United States. The second component is an approximately one-week educational study tour to another U.S. region, designed to complement and reinforce the academic residency by showing participants how U.S. history, civic life, culture, and institutions can vary across different parts of the country. A required element across all institutes is a stay of at least three days in Washington, D.C., reflecting the program emphasis on U.S. institutions and civic structures.
Beyond the in-country experience, the opportunity also emphasizes sustained impact after participants return home. Applicants are expected to build in opportunities for follow-on engagement, which typically means creating a plan and tools for continued alumni connection, ongoing collaboration, and program-related activities that can extend learning and networks beyond the five-week institute period.
Eligible applicants include accredited U.S. post-secondary education institutions such as community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and public or private universities, as well as other U.S. public and private non-profit organizations. The eligibility list includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (including those other than institutions of higher education). The Notice of Funding Opportunity indicates there may be additional eligibility details and clarifications in the full announcement. The award ceiling listed for the opportunity is $1,050,000, and the agency anticipated making one award, meaning a single recipient would typically be responsible for implementing all three institutes described in the announcement.Apply for SFOP0007947
