Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS UKRAINE FY24 04
The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv is offering the 2024 Public Diplomacy Small Grants Program - EDUCATION (Funding Opportunity Number PAS UKRAINE FY24 04) to support projects that strengthen Ukraine's educational system as a practical driver of post-war recovery and long-term development. The competition is open to Ukrainian non-governmental, not-for-profit organizations, including civil society groups and think tanks, with the expectation that funded projects will be implemented in cooperation with education-sector counterparts such as colleges, universities, and local or central government entities. While the program is anchored in education, it is framed as a public diplomacy effort, so proposals that build sustained U.S.-Ukraine institutional connections and people-to-people ties, or that set up durable partnerships with U.S. organizations and experts, are positioned as especially competitive. The opportunity is explicitly subject to the availability of U.S. Government funding.
Projects must take place in Ukraine and should focus on concrete, sustainable outcomes that address urgent post-war education and workforce needs. Applicants are required to include a monitoring and evaluation plan with clearly defined indicators, showing how progress and results will be measured and how the project will demonstrate achievement of stated goals. The Embassy signals a preference for proposals that do not end when the grant ends, meaning projects that create reusable curricula, replicable models, institutionalized partnerships, or systems that can be maintained by Ukrainian institutions after the performance period.
The grant outlines four thematic priority areas, and proposals may cover one or more. The first priority centers on aligning education with labor-market needs by promoting collaboration among educational institutions, employers, and government bodies to produce a qualified workforce in sufficient numbers for sectors identified as priorities in Ukraine's economic recovery and development plans. This can include adapting U.S. models where relevant, using U.S. expertise, and building professional networks between Americans and Ukrainians. Example activities mentioned include collaborative research, regional development planning that links job-market demand to educational offerings, creation of dual education programs, and development or modernization of study programs and study plans based on current and future employer needs. A strong emphasis here is helping young people remain in Ukraine and succeed, while also giving business representatives modern tools and approaches that support business growth and foreign investment attraction.
The second priority focuses on expanding training opportunities for groups heavily affected by the war, specifically individuals with disabilities, veterans, and internally displaced persons (IDPs), with the aim of improving employability and supporting regional economic recovery. This area encourages the use of U.S. experience and institutional know-how to help Ukraine modernize and broaden educational and training systems that can respond to disabilities, special learning needs, and issues such as PTSD among veterans. Illustrative activities include piloting veteran services centers and disability services centers at Ukrainian colleges and universities, with programming that may cover entrepreneurship, career advising, vocational retraining, small business development, and soft-skills training.
The third priority supports optimization within Ukraine's ongoing educational reforms as a response to wartime and reconstruction realities. Proposals in this category should take into account reforms led by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and, where relevant, connect to Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic aspirations in education, particularly where U.S. experience offers distinctive value. Possible activities include developing strategies or improving teaching in government-identified priority fields, and supporting access to high-quality education for students in war-affected areas or those learning online from abroad.
The fourth priority area is the development of civic education programs for students and adults to strengthen social cohesion and support reintegration of citizens from occupied territories and IDPs, with potential linkages to Ukrainians temporarily abroad. Examples include education projects focused on Ukrainian history, culture, and citizenship tailored to specific audiences, aiming to rebuild shared civic understanding and social resilience in a post-war context.
In terms of who the program is meant to reach, the key participants are Ukrainian stakeholders with the ability to shape the education sector during the recovery period, including decision-makers operating under crisis conditions. The intended beneficiaries include social groups most affected by the war, notably veterans, people with disabilities, and IDPs. While U.S.-Ukraine collaboration is encouraged, the core implementation and impact are expected to be rooted in Ukraine and designed for Ukrainian realities.
Funding is provided as a grant under FY24 Smith-Mundt Public Diplomacy funds. Individual awards are expected to range from USD 25,000 to USD 50,000, with an anticipated eight awards, and a project performance period of six to twelve months. The anticipated start window is between July 1 and September 30, 2024. Cost sharing or matching is encouraged but not required, meaning applicants can propose leveraged resources but are not disqualified if they cannot provide match.
Eligibility is limited to Ukrainian not-for-profit organizations (including NGOs and think tanks). Each organization may submit only one proposal; submitting more than one makes all submissions from that organization ineligible. To receive an award, organizations must have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and an active registration in SAM.gov. The application deadline listed is June 2, 2024, and applicants are directed to the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for detailed submission instructions and required application components.Apply for PAS UKRAINE FY24 04
