EducationUSA Indonesia Advising Services | PAS JAKARTA FY22 03

Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS JAKARTA FY22 03

The EducationUSA Indonesia Advising Services opportunity is a discretionary U.S. government grant issued by the U.S. Mission to Indonesia (U.S. Embassy Jakarta) to select a partner organization to administer and manage the overall EducationUSA Indonesia program. The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Embassy expects to stay actively involved in guiding priorities and coordinating on major activities while the partner handles day-to-day implementation. The program sits within the Education activity category under CFDA 19.040, and the funding opportunity is identified as PAS JAKARTA FY22 03. The original application deadline listed for this competition was April 15, 2022, and the award ceiling is up to $400,000.

At its core, the Embassy is looking for an organization that can provide strong program management for EducationUSA operations in Indonesia, with a particular emphasis on supporting and coordinating the work of individual EducationUSA advisors. This includes ensuring advisors have the tools, training, materials, and operational support needed to deliver high-quality advising services, outreach, and programming for prospective students and other stakeholders. The partner is expected to help maintain consistent standards across advising activities and to strengthen the overall delivery of accurate, current information about U.S. higher education opportunities.

A major part of the scope also centers on communications and public outreach. The partner will manage EducationUSA Indonesia social media accounts, produce localized content that resonates with Indonesian audiences, and amplify relevant content from the U.S. Department of State. In practice, this means developing an ongoing content strategy, keeping messaging aligned with EducationUSA guidance, and using digital channels to broaden reach to students, parents, educators, and institutions across Indonesia.

The opportunity also calls for event leadership, specifically planning and executing several large-scale EducationUSA fairs each year. These fairs are typically a key recruitment and information channel connecting U.S. colleges and universities with prospective Indonesian students, so the partner would be responsible for the logistical planning, stakeholder coordination, promotion, and on-the-ground execution needed to deliver professional, well-attended events. This work often involves coordinating with U.S. higher education representatives, ensuring consistent advising information is presented, and creating a positive and informative experience for participants.

In addition to running current operations, the partner must take on an analytical and advisory role by conducting a market survey and needs assessment for EducationUSA Indonesia. The intent is to generate evidence-based recommendations to the U.S. Embassy about how EducationUSA should adjust its posture and activities in Indonesia, which could include suggestions on geographic coverage, target audiences, outreach channels, programming formats, and resource allocation. This element signals that the Embassy is not only funding service delivery, but also seeking data and strategic insight to refine EducationUSA’s impact in-country.

The program is part of EducationUSA, a U.S. Department of State global network of more than 430 advising centers spanning over 175 countries and territories. EducationUSA’s mission is to promote U.S. higher education by providing accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date information about studying at accredited postsecondary institutions in the United States, while also supporting U.S. higher education institutions with international student recruitment and broader campus internationalization goals. Applicants are encouraged to consult the official EducationUSA website (https://educationusa.state.gov) to understand network standards, services, and expectations.

Eligibility is limited to non-profit and non-governmental organizations and to private, public, or state institutions of higher education, including U.S.-based, Indonesia-based, and foreign entities within those categories. For-profit entities are explicitly ineligible. The opportunity notes that successful U.S.-based applicants should demonstrate strong linkages with an Indonesian-based partner organization, indicating the Embassy values local presence, local knowledge, and operational relationships in Indonesia as a key factor for effective implementation.
