The United States Agency for International Development’s Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship Program (USAID DISP) aims to support current and future community leaders of Burma, particularly those from vulnerable groups, to gain access to quality higher education learning opportunities by offering regional and local higher education scholarships, grants, and a variety of higher education opportunities via multimodalities that strengthen the overall educational landscape of Burma.
USAID/Burma’s higher education (HE) programming advances United States Government strategic objectives to promote inclusive democracy and economic growth by educating, equipping, and preparing Burma’s next generation of leaders.
The five-year USAID DISP activity, which was launched in August 2023, directly aims to further that goal by supporting current and future community leaders of Burma, particularly those from vulnerable groups, to gain access to quality learning opportunities. This will be achieved via multi-modalities that strengthen the HE and overall education landscape, through both scholarship opportunities and grants.
Through DISP, individuals of all backgrounds will earn higher education degrees, receive professional certifications, and gain access to contextualized curricula through short- and long-term training in Burma and throughout select countries in the region.
Our network of offices and affiliates around the world is led by talented and dedicated international education experts who implement initiatives driven by key regional and global needs.
