The U.S. Embassy, Public Diplomacy Section, Harare, Zimbabwe announces an open competition for organizations working with college and university students to submit applications to carry out a project focused on promoting U.S. higher education opportunities for high-achieving Zimbabwean university students. 

 

Priority Region: Project activities must take place in Zimbabwe and the United States and be directed at Zimbabwean audiences/participants.

 

Program Objectives:

The grantee will work in coordination with the Public Diplomacy Section in support of the 2020/2021 EducationUSA Graduate Opportunity Funds program. This program assists highly qualified students who are likely to be awarded scholarships from U.S. universities but lack the financial resources to cover the up-front costs of applying to U.S. universities. U.S. Mission to Zimbabwe and EducationUSA advisers located in Harare will develop selection criteria and lead the Graduate Opportunity Funds selection committee.

 

Individuals and institutions interested in bidding on this grant must submit a proposal to administer the Opportunity Funds (OFP) of US $75, 000 and manage two phases of the EducationUSA advising process for 2020-2021. The first phase requires coordination and payment for 25 selected prospective students to take standardized tests, application fees, transcript evaluations and other costs. Throughout this phase, the grantee will assist advisers in Harare with logistical support in providing advising sessions for the Opportunity Fund Program students. These sessions will include comprehensive coaching on the U.S. application process, financial awards/aid, personal statements/essays and recommendation letter writing, CVS/resumes, transcripts and equivalencies, and similar subjects related to graduate admissions at U.S. universities.

 

The second phase requires the recipient to manage the travel logistics of approximately 15 students, including visa and SEVIS fees, international airfare, settling-in allowance, and other related expenses. The grantee will communicate with the students and advisers, coordinate visa appointments at the appropriate U.S. consulate, make travel arrangements for domestic and international travel, and coordinate payment to the students of settling-in and other related allowances. The successful grantee will demonstrate an ability to effectively handle funds, coordinate logistics, and finalize payments in a timely manner. Both phases can be managed virtually, with regular web and phone-based counselling sessions for selected Zimbabwean candidates. 

 

Participants and Audiences:

High achieving university students in their 3rd and 4th year studying at a local university.

South Monterey County School Districts Reorganization and UnificationThe South Monterey County School Districts Reorganization and Unification project, managed by the California Department of Education and the Monterey County Office of Education, aims to reorganize local educational boundaries to improve fiscal responsibility, equitable resource access, and educational quality. The project involves the creation of two new unified districts: the Greenfield Unified School District, formed by unifying the Greenfield Union Elementary School District and Greenfield High School, and the King City Unified School District, formed by unifying the King City Elementary School District, King City High School, Pinnacle Coastal Valley High School, and Portola-Butler Continuation High School. Consequently, the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District will be dissolved. This reorganization is designed to maintain current programs without causing physical changes to facilities or altering student enrollment. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 923110 and adheres to California Education Code Section 35753. It qualifies for a common sense exemption under CEQA Section 15061(b)(3), as it is determined that the unification will not result in significant environmental effects. Key administration is led by Dr. Colleen Stanley, Chief Business Official, and Dr. Deneen Guss, County Superintendent.
