Opportunity Information: Apply for SCAISB 18 AW 010 02142018
The E-Teacher Plus for Pakistan opportunity is a U.S. Department of State-funded grant competition run through the Regional English Language Office (RELO) at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad. It was released as a Notice of Funding Opportunity to support a single project that strengthens English language education and related skills development in Pakistan. The program is framed as a human-capacity investment, with the broader goal of helping build a healthier, better educated, and more skilled workforce by improving English proficiency and critical thinking among participating educators and youth.
This funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient should expect an active partnership relationship with the U.S. Embassy/RELO during implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The grant’s maximum funding level (award ceiling) is USD 250,000, and the opportunity anticipated making one award in total, indicating a relatively focused, flagship-style project rather than multiple smaller grants.
The core purpose of the project is skill building that translates into practical outcomes. Educators who participate are expected to take what they learn back into their classrooms and improve the quality of their teaching, while youth participants are expected to become more competitive for future education and employment opportunities. The opportunity emphasizes two main skill areas: improved English language proficiency and stronger critical thinking. The underlying rationale is that these capabilities make participants more productive members of their communities and better positioned for academic and professional advancement.
Administratively, the opportunity was published by the Department of State, U.S. Mission to Pakistan, under Funding Opportunity Number SCAISB 18 AW 010 02142018 and CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 19.501.
