The Alumni Support Program consists of two parts – connecting with alumni, and providing support for projects. Alumni Support Program maintains a website and social media platforms where alumni can learn about alumni opportunities. The implementer of the Alumni Support Program will continue to seek engagement from alumni through the website and social media platforms, and send information to alumni who have registered. The alumni support project allows alumni to submit proposals for assistance which are reviewed by the grantee and approved by the U.S. Embassy.
