| 94-22872 | U.S.-NIS Summer Language Teacher Exchange Program | Uncategorized Document | The Office of Academic Programs, Academic Exchanges Division, European Branch of the United States Information Agency's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for an assistance award program. Public and non-profit organizations meeting the provisions described in IRS regulation 501(c)(3) may apply to develop a summer 1995 language teacher exchange program for in-service professionals from the United States and selected countries in the New Independent States (NIS). The goal of the U.S.-NIS Summer Language Teacher Exchange Program is to improve and promote the teaching of American English and culture in the NIS, and the teaching of the diverse languages and cultures of the NIS countries in the United States. USIA expects to award grants to one or two organizations to conduct an intensive summer language enhancement program of five to twelve weeks in duration through academic course work, seminars, workshops, and practica, for up to 40 language teachers in each direction. USIA will give preference to proposals that exchange participants, to the extent feasible, from all twelve eligible countries in the NIS. Combined project awards to U.S. organizations will not exceed $240,000. These exchanges are subject to the availability of funding for Fiscal Year 1995. Overall grant making authority for this program is contained in the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, as amended, Public Law 87-256, also known as the Fulbright-Hays Act. The purpose of the Act is ``to enable the Government of the United States to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries * * *; to strengthen the ties which unite us with other nations by demonstrating the educational and cultural interests, developments, and achievements of the people of the United States and other nations * * * and thus to assist in the development of friendly, sympathetic and peaceful relations between the United States and the other countries of the world.'' | 1994-09-15 | 1994 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/09/15/94-22872/us-nis-summer-language-teacher-exchange-program | United States Information Agency | 510 | The Office of Academic Programs, Academic Exchanges Division, European Branch of the United States Information Agency's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for an assistance award program.
