Deadline: 27 January 2025
The Public Diplomacy Section at the United States Embassy Abuja, Nigeria announces the open-competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project focused on promoting U.S. higher education opportunities for standard advising centers, high achieving low-income Nigerian students at the graduate and undergraduate level.
The implementing partner will work in coordination with the Education Specialists of the Public Diplomacy Section of the United States Mission in Nigeria, Abuja and Lagos to support the 2025-26 Education Advising in Nigeria especially the Education USA Opportunity Funds Program and support the Standard Advising Centers in Calabar, Jos, Ibadan and Kano.
This program will mostly assist forty (40) high-achieving, low-income prospective students who are likely to be awarded full financial aid from U.S. colleges and universities but lack the financial resources to cover the up-front costs of required standardized admission tests, application fees, international and domestic airfare, visa fees, SEVIS fees, and settling-in allowance. The implementing partner will coordinate with the Education USA Abuja and Lagos network to achieve these goals at different capacities as specified by the Country Education Specialist within the period of operation.
