The Cooperative Grants Program (COOP), implemented by NAFSA: Association of
International Educators and funded by the U.S. Department of State, is
accepting proposals from U.S. based institutions of higher education and
non-profit organizations for the Muslim Intercultural Exchange Grant
competition.  Proposals must be received by March 8, 2002.

Muslim Intercultural Exchange Grants are awards in the range of
$2,001-$10,000. Projects must meet all regular COOP eligibility criteria and
accomplish one or more of the following objectives:

----- Create opportunities for students from predominantly Muslim countries
to engage in substantive exchange with their U.S. peers and their host
communities;
----- Increase resources and understanding on U.S. campuses about the Muslim
world; and/or
----- Address issues related to women in Muslim cultures.

For eligibility criteria, application materials, and grant writing
resources, visit the NAFSA website at www.nafsa.org.  Go to the Professional
