## What the grant funds

The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) at the U.S. Consulate General Peshawar is pleased to announce a funding opportunity available through the public diplomacy grants program to link Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) journalism and mass communication students with senior journalists/media professionals, who will serve as mentors. Based on funding availability, this project will offer an opportunity for the students to apply theory to practical, hands-on ground experience in a professional environment through a paid internship. The aim of the one-year-long project is to offer approximately 40 journalism students (50% women) an internship for a minimum of two months. Depending on the success and demonstrated outcomes of the program, this project may be extended at the discretion of PDS and contingent upon funding availability. The proposal budget should not exceed $50,000 for the one-year period of the grant. The project must be designed to meet the needs of the students of journalism and mass communication at KP universities, keeping in view their examination schedules.
