Dear INTL Listserv Member:

Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) Request for 
Grant Proposals for
Study of the U.S. Institute for Bolivian Indigenous Student Leaders

    Announcement Type: New Cooperative Agreement.
    Funding Opportunity Number: ECA/A/E/USS-05-09-BSL.
    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number:
00.000.
    Key Dates:
    Application Deadline: June 1, 2005.
    Executive Summary: The Study of the U.S. Branch,
Office of Academic

Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, 
announces an open competition for public and private non-profit 
organizations to develop and implement a four-week ``Study of the 
United States Institute for Bolivian Indigenous Student Leaders'' to 
take place in January or January-February 2006. This program is to be 
conducted in Spanish as the primary language of instruction. It is 
designed to provide a group of 12 to 15 highly motivated undergraduate 
student leaders representing the Bolivian indigenous population with a 
four-week academic seminar and educational travel program that will 
give them a deeper understanding of U.S. society, culture, values and 
institutions, while at the same time assisting these participants in 
the further development of their leadership potential and collective 
problem-solving skills.
    The Bureau anticipates providing one assistance award
to support 
this program.
    Program participants will be drawn principally from
the Quechua and 
Aymara indigenous groups of Bolivia, but should include students from 
some of Bolivia's 30 other ethnic groups. The participants will be 
identified and selected by the U.S. Embassy in La Paz, in consultation 
with the State Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs and 
ECA.
    Participants will be selected on the basis of their
demonstrated 
leadership capacity as well as academic achievement, community 
involvement and interest in learning about the United States. It is 
expected that they will draw on the experience derived from this 
institute in future positions of leadership in their community and home 
country.
