Opportunity Information: Apply for 006 FY2019
The BOLD (BIH OMLADINSKI LIDERI, Bosnia and Herzegovina Young Leaders) Program is a U.S. Department of State-funded education initiative run through the U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina. It supports "BOLD Academic Fellowships," which are intensive academic fellowship programs designed for groups of undergraduate students from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The core idea is to develop practical, community-focused leadership by giving participants structured training in a specific leadership theme or area, then guiding them to translate that learning into real-world action back home.
At its center, the fellowship aims to equip young leaders with the skills to spot real problems or gaps in their communities, define what change should look like, and build a workable plan to lead that change. The program is not framed as leadership in the abstract; it expects participants to move from analysis to planning and then to implementation, typically through a tangible project that demonstrates civic engagement and problem-solving. A major emphasis is placed on hands-on experience, meaning participants should gain practical exposure to leadership tools and methods rather than only classroom-based instruction.
A defining feature of BOLD is its explicit focus on interethnic cooperation. Since Bosnia and Herzegovina is shaped by ethnic diversity and complex social and political dynamics, the program treats collaboration across ethnic lines as a leadership skill in its own right. The fellowship is intended to strengthen participants ability to work with people from different backgrounds, build trust, and pursue shared goals, reflecting the expectation that durable community change requires inclusive leadership and coalition-building.
The fellowship also seeks to deepen participants understanding of the United States, not only culturally but institutionally and civically. This includes exposure to U.S. society, civic institutions, and the role of volunteerism in community life. Embedded in this learning is a focus on democratic principles and civic values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual rights, freedom of expression, equality, diversity, and tolerance. In practice, this suggests programming that helps fellows compare governance and civic participation models, understand how civic organizations function, and see how citizens engage in public life through volunteering and community initiatives.
From a grantmaking standpoint, this opportunity was issued as a discretionary funding competition under Funding Opportunity Number 006 (FY2019). The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the funder expects an active partnership with the award recipient during implementation rather than a fully hands-off grant. The activity category is education, and the listing references CFDA 19.900. The announced award ceiling was $200,000, and the agency expected to make two awards, indicating the program could support up to two implementing organizations or projects under this solicitation.
The opportunity was released on April 4, 2019, with an original application deadline of May 31, 2019. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants would need to consult the additional eligibility information in the full solicitation for details. Overall, the grant supports organizations capable of delivering an intensive, cohort-based academic and leadership fellowship experience for Bosnian and Herzegovinian undergraduates, with strong experiential learning, interethnic collaboration, and a clear pathway from training to community-based project implementation.Apply for 006 FY2019
