U.S. Embassy in Croatia is accepting applications for its Alumni Grants Program 2019. The Embassy inviting alumni of U.S. Government-sponsored programs and Croatian citizens who have studied in U.S. high schools or universities to apply for funding for small-scale projects, workshops, seminars and/or to bring an U.S. expert for a seminar, workshop, or similar educational activity.

- tolerance and regional issues
- media literacy
- countering disinformation
- critical thinking
- civic responsibility
Funding Information
- Grants range from $3,000 to $15,000

Eligibility Criteria
