Opportunity Information: Apply for NAHA PAS FY23 01
The U.S. Ambassador's Scholarship Program (Funding Opportunity Number: NAHA PAS FY23 01) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Japan, through the U.S. Consulate General Naha's Public Affairs Section (PAS). The competition invites applicants to propose and implement an education-focused program connected to the U.S. Ambassador's Scholarship Program for Okinawa high school students. In practical terms, the grant is meant to support a structured scholarship-style initiative that benefits high school students in Okinawa, typically by expanding educational access, strengthening academic or leadership development, and deepening engagement with U.S.-related educational experiences or perspectives as aligned with public diplomacy goals.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Education under CFDA 19.040, which is commonly associated with U.S. public diplomacy and educational exchange programming administered by the Department of State. The opportunity was announced on December 21, 2022, with an original application deadline of February 20, 2023. The program anticipates making one award, with a maximum (award ceiling) of $110,000. Since only one award is expected, proposals are effectively competing to be the single implementing partner responsible for designing and carrying out the full program scope.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both those with 501(c)(3) IRS status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that category), and individuals. This wide eligibility suggests PAS is open to a range of implementers, from universities and colleges to community nonprofits and qualified individual program directors, as long as the applicant can credibly manage U.S. government grant funds and deliver an education program serving Okinawa high school students.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a competitive call for a capable organization (or eligible applicant) to administer and deliver an ambassador-branded scholarship program for Okinawan high school students, supported by up to $110,000 in U.S. government funding, with the expectation of selecting a single awardee to run the program.Apply for NAHA PAS FY23 01
