Public Affairs Office (PA) seeks to provide Iraqi youth with educational opportunities through English-language instruction in accordance with Mission Iraq goals. The English Access Microscholarship Program for Kirkuk and Tikrit will provide a foundation of English language skills to economically disadvantaged, demographically diverse, 13 to 16 year-old students through after-school or weekend classes and intensive summer activities over a two-year period. Access Program students also gain an appreciation for American culture and democratic values, increase their ability to participate successfully in the socio-economic development of their countries, and gain the ability to compete for and participate in future U.S. Government-sponsored educational programs. Subject to the availability of funds, the Embassy expects to award a grant up to $193,000 to carry out the English Access Microscholarship Program for Kirkuk and Tikrit over a twenty-four month time frame.
