Established in Morocco in 2003 and active in over 90 countries around the world, the Access Micro-Scholarship program was created by the U.S. Department of State to provide two years of supplemental English classes to students who might not be able to afford them otherwise. Participation in the program is competitive and is offered to select 13 to 20 year olds.
The program was launched in Morocco after the May 2003 bombings in Casablanca. As a further step, the MCCE is planning to use Access to promote employability and global citizenship education and to reach people with disabilities.
