Eligibility Information) for the design and implementation of four (4) Institutes for the Study of the U.S., Madeleine K.

Albright Young Women Leaders Program (Albright Young Women Leaders Program).

Four Institutes will take place over five weeks in summer 202 5. Each Institute will focus on a theme that reflects U. S. foreign policy priorities.

The themes selected for these Institutes are:
Civic Engagement, Economic Empowerment, Environmental Issues, and Public Policy.

See details in section A.

3. Program Specific Guidelines, in the Notice of Funding Opportunity.

The Albright Young Women Leaders Program will provide multinational groups of undergraduate female students with a deeper understanding of U. S. society, culture, values, and institutions while simultaneously developing their leadership skills.

Each Institute will be organized for a group of 20 foreign undergraduate women for a total of 80 participants in four concurrent Institutes.

Institutes will be approximately five weeks in duration and will include an approximately four-week academic residency at a U. S. academic institution and an approximately one-week integrated study tour that will expose the foreign undergraduate students to a community (or multiple communities) representing a culture and/or region distinct from that of their academic residency.

A convening event will bring participants together from all four Institutes for networking and exploration of program themes.

Please see the full announcement for additional information.
