Description
The primary purpose of the program is to increase the number of educated professionals to strengthen Kosovo’s dynamic transition to a democratic, free market economy. Participatory democracy values—such as personal responsibility, accountability, entrepreneurship, and public action—have yet to be fully absorbed and practiced by Kosovar society. Until these values are embedded in the culture, Kosovo’s development as a vibrant society may be jeopardized. Future leaders will be developed in critical areas that support diplomatic and assistance priorities identified by the Kosovo and U.S. governments.
The program will support a minimum of 185 full scholarships for U.S.-based Master’s degree programs, as well as 160 professional certificates over the course of the program’s five-year duration. Supported areas of study include: Rule of Law, Engineering, Public Administration, Agriculture, Business Management, Finance, Economics, Information Systems, Education, Gender, and Interdisciplinary Studies.
The program is implemented in partnership with the Government of Kosovo, the University of Prishtina, and other higher education institutions in Kosovo, as well as Arizona State University, Indiana University, the University of Minnesota, and Dartmouth College in the United States.
