FY 2024 English Access Scholarship Program
The English Access Scholarship Program (formerly the English Access Microscholarship Program), established in 2004, is a multifaceted public diplomacy initiative at the forefront of global English language learning and the enhancement of English teaching capacity.
With over 200,000 student alumni and over 10,000 teacher alumni in more than 85 countries, the English Access Scholarship Program (Access) is recognized as a high-profile, strategic program that supports U. S. foreign policy objectives, while providing educational opportunities for future leaders globally.
Emphasizing critical thinking and employing student-centered and communicative approaches, the program's teaching methodology targets bright, underserved students, primarily aged 13 to 2 0. The Access Program focuses on four pillars that are integrated into all components of the program:
global citizenship themes, 21st-century skills, U. S. culture and values, and communicative English language instruction.
The Office of English Language Programs (ECA/A/L), Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs anticipates approximately 15,000 participants, including teachers, students, and alumni.
Programming may be in-person, virtual, or hybrid and occur in-country, in the region, and in the United States.
ECA launched the Access Program in 200 4. The program has expanded to become a foundational element in the Bureau’s continuum of exchanges to reach younger and more diverse audiences worldwide.
For nearly over a decade, professional development for teachers has also been an integral part of the program.
Many Access programs are serving as model classrooms for English teaching in their countries.
Only one proposal will be considered by ECA from each applicant organization.
In cases where more than one submission from an applicant appears in grants.gov, ECA will only consider the submission made closest in time to the NOFO deadline; that submission would constitute the one and only proposal ECA would review from that applicant.
Please see the full announcement for additional information.
