Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS JOR FY20 004
The U.S. Embassy Amman Public Affairs Section (PAS) Alumni Annual Program Statement is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Jordan, designed to fund projects conceived and led by program alumni connected to PAS in Amman. The purpose of the Alumni Grants program is to help former participants turn the skills, networks, and experience they gained through U.S. Embassy-supported programs into practical, community-facing projects that create local impact in Jordan. Funding is provided through either grants or cooperative agreements, which generally means the Embassy may either fund a project with standard grant oversight or, under a cooperative agreement, remain more actively involved during implementation depending on the project needs and structure.
Eligibility is focused specifically on alumni of PAS Amman-affiliated programs. This includes individuals who participated in exchange programs managed by PAS Amman, as well as alumni of the English Access Microscholarship Program in Jordan and the Inspire program in Jordan. In other words, the opportunity is not broadly open to all organizations or the general public; it is intended to support initiatives that come directly from alumni who have already been part of these U.S. Embassy-linked educational or exchange experiences. The activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the program can support a range of project types rather than being limited to a single narrow theme, as long as the proposed work aligns with the goals of the alumni grants framework described in the notice.
The award ceiling is up to USD 15,000 per project, and the Embassy anticipated making approximately six awards under this funding round. The opportunity was created on February 5, 2020, with an original closing date of September 15, 2020. It is cataloged under CFDA number 19.040, which is commonly associated with U.S. Department of State public diplomacy and related programs. Overall, this program is best understood as seed funding for alumni-driven projects, giving qualified alumni applicants the chance to propose, launch, and scale initiatives that reflect the mission of PAS in Jordan while leveraging the alumni community as implementers and local change-makers.Apply for PAS JOR FY20 004
