    About the Program

    The Transatlantic Mobility Program aims at increasing Franco-American student mobility by supporting American and French Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in developing study-abroad opportunities. The Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the U.S. and the Public Diplomacy Services of the Embassy of the United States of America in France, together with NAFSA, and the FACE Foundation, offer eligible institutions grants of up to $15,000 to expand and diversify study-abroad programs on both sides of the Atlantic.

    All questions should be directed to Anna Malan, Higher Education Program Officer (anna.malan@frenchculture.org).

    • 3. Sustainability Plan  
    • 3. Sustainability Plan

    • Funding is a one-time allocation, but the program is not viewed as a one-year project. With this incentive grant, the French Embassy aims at long-term changes, such as promoting the integration of study-abroad programs into the main missions of the institutions (teaching, learning, research). Institutions must provide a Sustainability Plan, answering the following questions, to assure program longevity:

      • How do you intend to assure the program's longevity after the grant period? How will you continue to operate and/or grow your study abroad programming? 
      • How will the two partner institutions continue to collaborate?
      • What are the expected long-term outcomes on your institutions’ internationalization efforts? (i.e. increase international academic exchange and unlock new opportunities, create new study-abroad infrastructure, increase support and awareness for study-abroad programs, etc.)
      • Describe any current and/or future efforts to broaden and expand your partnership through future activities and collaborations (i.e. study abroad curriculum integration).
    • 4. Budget

      Overhead costs cannot be included in the funding.
