for submitting requests for funding.

Applications for programs are accepted on a rolling basis until the deadline.

A grant review committee will convene within a month after the deadline to review submissions.

Please carefully follow all instructions below.

Purpose of Grants:
PAS Brussels invites proposals for projects that strengthen ties between the United States and Belgium by using our extensive alumni network.

We offer alumni of State Department exchange programs and our local programs in Belgium the opportunity to propose innovative projects that address one of five U.

S.

foreign policy themes or projects that build up alumni engagement.

You may collaborate with alumni from other countries for activities that advance regional priorities, but Belgium must figure prominently in the program or activity.

These projects enhance the leadership capacity, convening power, and community engagement of alumni and alumni networks.
