Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 009 01062022
The U.S. Department of State, through the U.S. Mission to Pakistan, announced a discretionary funding opportunity called "Peacebuilding for Access Alumni" (Funding Opportunity Number: SCAISB 22 AW 009 01062022). The program is designed to support graduates of the English Access Microscholarship Program by offering them targeted training in peacebuilding and conflict resolution, and then helping them apply those skills in real-world settings through small pilot projects in their own communities. In practical terms, the opportunity combines skills development with community-level action, aiming to turn Access alumni into local changemakers who can identify tensions or community needs and test constructive, youth-led responses.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects to stay actively involved in the project beyond simply providing funds. The grant falls under the CFDA number 19.501 and is categorized under a broader funding activity area labeled "Other," suggesting the work may cut across education, civic engagement, youth programming, and community resilience rather than fitting neatly into a single standard category. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $50,000, depending on the availability of funds.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," indicating that applicants are not limited to a single traditional category (such as only nonprofits or only educational institutions) and that the official notice would define who can apply in more detail. However, the core program beneficiaries are clearly specified: selected alumni of the English Access Microscholarship Program. The timeline shows the opportunity was created on January 6, 2022, with an original application deadline of March 8, 2022, reflecting a roughly two-month application window.
Overall, the opportunity focuses on strengthening peacebuilding capacity among youth who already have a foundation through the Access program, then channeling that training into small, practical community initiatives. The intended outcome is not only individual leadership growth among alumni but also tangible local projects that model conflict resolution approaches and promote community cohesion at the grassroots level.Apply for SCAISB 22 AW 009 01062022
