The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) is pleased to announce the 2020 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF). AEIF 2020 supports teams of alumni of U.S. government-sponsored international exchange programs with funding from US$ 5,000 up to US$ 25,000 to support public service projects.

AEIF projects promote shared values and innovative solutions to global challenges. Since its inception in 2011, AEIF has funded nearly 500 alumni-led projects around the world through a competitive global competition. Last year, out of more than 1,400 project submissions, 64 alumni teams representing 52 countries were selected for AEIF funding.

AEIF 2020 Program Objectives

The United States is dedicated to working with our partners around the world to advance the essential role of women. AEIF 2020 is designed to catalyze action among alumni to reinforce women’s empowerment worldwide and advance the participation of women in peace, security, and governance.

AEIF 2020 will accept public service projects proposed and managed by teams of at least two (2) alumni that advance the role of women in peace, and security, such as:

• Strengthen the role of women in peace, security, and governance;
• Engage women as partners in preventing terrorism and countering radicalization and recruitment;
• Promote protection of women and girls from violence, abuse, and exploitation; or
• Support women’s political, economic*, and civic participation.

* Projects with a correlation to the Academy of Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) and Dreambuilder are not eligible for funding through AEIF.

Eligibility Requirements

• Applicants must be alumni of U.S. government-funded or sponsored exchange programs, and form teams of at least two (2) alumni.
• Alumni who are U.S. citizens may not submit proposals, but U.S. citizen alumni may participate as team members in a project.
• Alumni teams may be comprised of alumni from different exchange programs and different countries.
• Proposals must address women in peace, security, and governance. Proposals that do not address the theme as outlined in the program objectives will be deemed ineligible.

Fulbright Association of Honduras (AFH)

Founded in June 1990, the Fulbright Association of Honduras is formed by more than 100 members, who carried out higher education studies in the United States thanks to a Fulbright scholarship. Named after Senator J. William Fulbright, the Fulbright scholarships are one of the most prestigious international exchange programs between United States and the rest of the world.

In Honduras, more than six hundred former Fulbright fellows have developed brilliant professional careers in the fields of research, teaching, politics, small and large businesses and in other areas that prompt the development of Honduras.

Since its creation, the Fulbright Association of Honduras (AFH) has worked with the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, personal donations, the private sector, private universities and the Central Bank of Honduras through “Una Beca Más” a scholarship program that offers educational opportunities to youth, particularly low income and talented students through English and higher education scholarships.

Since 2009 more than 57 high school students have received scholarships to study English and around 60 outstanding students are currently attending their undergraduate studies at the Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana (UNITEC) thanks to “Una Beca Mas.”
