The Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Office of Assistance Coordination (NEA/AC) announces a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to enhance and expand leadership training opportunities for students from MENA (Middle East and North Africa). The Tomorrows Leaders program (TL) is for capable and highly motivated high school seniors in the Middle East and North Africa who are from underserved backgrounds. Over a period of five years, the program will support approximately 80 scholarships for underserved and qualified students at select U.S.-accredited universities in the MENA region. Eligible students include men and women who represent the regions cultural, religious, and geographic diversity and are from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, who could otherwise gain admission to, but would be unable to afford, four years of college at an American-accredited university in the Middle East.
