Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009399
The FY 2023 Community College Administrator Program (CCAP) is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) grant opportunity that funds one organization to design and run a short-term international exchange program focused on how U.S. community colleges are managed and how they connect education to workforce needs. The award supports an approximately five to six-week intensive program that must include a virtual component and at least three weeks of in-person programming in the United States. The overall intent is to bring mid- to senior-level foreign participants to engage directly with U.S. community college systems, practices, and partnerships, and then apply what they learn to strengthen vocational, technical, and workforce-oriented postsecondary education in their home countries.
The program is aimed at foreign participants who hold significant responsibilities in post-secondary vocational and technical education, including institutional administrators (such as community college leaders or technical institute managers) and relevant government officials involved in education and workforce policy. Through structured site visits, workshops, and professional engagement, the exchange is expected to highlight the key tenets of community college administration and showcase innovative U.S. approaches that respond to local labor market demands. A central feature is practical exposure to community colleges that operate as regional hubs for economic development, credentialing, employer partnerships, and student support, with the goal of translating those operating models into measurable improvements abroad.
ECA makes clear that CCAP is also intended to advance U.S. foreign policy priorities by strengthening institutional capacity and promoting constructive, long-term professional ties with current and emerging education leaders overseas. The learning agenda spans a broad set of administrative and operational areas. Core topics include workforce development strategy; leadership and governance structures; student affairs and student services; program assessment and quality assurance; finance, budgeting, and resource allocation; fundraising and advancement; building and sustaining private sector partnerships; community engagement and responsiveness; and distance learning and other flexible delivery models. The expectation is that the implementing organization will not simply deliver a standard itinerary, but will build a program that can adapt to different country contexts and support participants in creating changes that can be tracked at the institutional level and, ideally, contribute to wider sector improvements.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning ECA expects substantial involvement in shaping and overseeing the project during implementation rather than a fully hands-off grant. The opportunity is listed as discretionary and falls under CFDA number 19.408. ECA, working with Department of State regional bureaus and U.S. embassies/consulates and/or Fulbright Commissions, will determine which participating country or countries are included, based on current foreign policy priorities. Applicants therefore need to be prepared to tailor program design to the needs and priorities of the ultimately selected locations, particularly around vocational and technical education reform and workforce development alignment.
Eligible applicants include accredited U.S. colleges and universities as well as other U.S. public or private non-profit organizations that qualify under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). The grant anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a maximum funding level (Award Ceiling) of $500,000. The funding opportunity number is SFOP0009399, and it was created on February 7, 2023, with an original application deadline of April 10, 2023. Overall, the government is seeking one capable implementing partner with demonstrated exchange-program management capacity, strong community college sector expertise, and the logistical and programmatic flexibility to deliver a tightly organized, high-impact experience that produces practical, transferable outcomes for participating institutions and education systems.Apply for SFOP0009399
