NAFSA's Cooperative Grants Program (COOP) is accepting proposals from
U.S.-based institutions of higher education and non-profit organizations
for
its 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.

Application materials, eligibility criteria, grant writing resources and
the
COOP Model Program List are available on the NAFSA web site at
www.nafsa.org
(go to the Professional and Educational Resources heading and then click
on
Grants and Scholarships) or contact COOP staff at coop at nafsa.org.

COOP Grants are made available through funding from the Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of
State,
under the authority of the Fulbright-Hays Act of 1961, as amended.
