Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS PTA 201904
The 2019-2020 Fulbright Program Logistics opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DOS PTA 201904) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant administered by the U.S. Mission to South Africa, through the U.S. Embassy South Africa Public Affairs Section (PAS). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected organization is expected to coordinate closely with PAS rather than operate fully independently. The work supports two related exchange programs: the 2019-20 Fulbright Foreign Student Program and the 2019-20 Fulbright Visiting Research Scholar Program, both part of the long-running Fulbright initiative established in 1946 through legislation introduced by Senator J. William Fulbright. The notice highlights the program's track record in South Africa, noting that more than 2,000 South Africans have participated over time.
The core purpose of the award is practical program delivery: managing travel logistics and closely related administrative tasks for roughly 27 South African Fulbright grantees during the 2019-2020 cycle. The selected grantee is expected to work cooperatively with Public Affairs Sections located in Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, and Johannesburg. In effect, the grantee functions as the operational logistics partner, ensuring participants can move through the required steps of the Fulbright selection and departure process smoothly, consistently, and on schedule.
The supported activities center on both in-country and international travel needs. On the domestic side, the grant covers travel tied to required interviews and the pre-departure orientation, which typically means arranging or reimbursing transport within South Africa so candidates and grantees can attend mandatory program events. On the international side, the award supports administrative and financial arrangements for travel to the United States. This includes providing a travel allowance, arranging transportation from a participant's home city to the designated departure city, and covering hotel and meals in the departure city when an overnight stay is necessary to make onward travel possible. The opportunity also includes the cost and coordination of international roundtrip airfare for participants traveling to and from the United States.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, including both U.S.-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). The listing references CFDA number 19.022. The anticipated funding level is up to an award ceiling of $60,000, with the expectation of making a single award. The opportunity was created on February 26, 2019, and the original application closing date was March 29, 2019.Apply for DOS PTA 201904
