Grant Opportunity for Work in Africa

NAICU Washington Update

October 7, 2008

The Africa-U.S. Higher Education Initiative will be issuing a request for applications for $50,000 planning grants in November. The Initiative is an effort of the presidential associations, including NAICU, and several non-governmental organizations focused on development in Africa.

Through $1 million from USAID, the Initiative will be making 20 grants available to U.S. colleges that have relationships with colleges or universities in Africa. The grants will enable the institutions to develop a plan for future collaboration aimed at development in Africa. The Initiative has set up an e-consultation site that provides additional information.
