PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Department of State’s Mission to Saudi Arabia announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to conduct three virtual U.S. higher education fairs for students and other education stakeholders in Saudi Arabia. Please follow all instructions below. Program Objectives: Maintaining Saudi student mobility and access to the U.S. higher education system is a primary strategy for promoting long-term mutual understanding between the people of Saudi Arabia and the United States. It is also a key contributor to Saudi Arabia’s ambitions for economic transformation including youth and women’s workforce development. These policies promote regional stability and greater bilateral economic opportunities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, opportunities for Saudi students, parents, and education professionals to engage in-person with officials from U.S. higher education institutions (HEIs) have been severely restricted. The “Quincy Virtual U.S. Higher Education Fairs” program proposes to fill this gap by offering three virtual events that will allow Saudi students and other stakeholders to engage directly and individually with U.S. HEI representatives. This engagement is intended to provide education and career advising, and promote information exchange on undergraduate, graduate, and training programs available at individual institutions. The events also aim to provide virtual networking opportunities for U.S. HEIs with the leadership of Saudi government and private scholarship programs to learn about program requirements and promote diverse U.S. study opportunities for Saudi scholarship recipients. This program aims to offer three engagement opportunities in a virtual format during Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 with thematic focus on fields of study related to Saudi Arabia’s Vision2030 initiatives.
