Description

Malaysia-wide outreach with physical advising centers in the Klang Valley, Penang, and East Malaysia.

The Public Diplomacy Section at the United States Embassy in Malaysia announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to promote U.S. higher education opportunities for Malaysian students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. This project includes maintaining physical presences of at least three EducationUSA advising centers manned by trained EducationUSA advisors that will serve as the primary resource for accurate, comprehensive, and current information about studying in the United States. Programmatic requirements will include education fairs, presentations at secondary schools and universities, and other programs in cooperation with the U.S. Embassy.

Freedom250: All successful Education USA Malaysia 2026 proposals must clearly celebrate and promote the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America (Freedom250) and align with: making America safer, strengthening our nation, expanding our prosperity, and defending freedom of speech.
