Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOICHAM1900036
The "SCA Interpretation Internship" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOICHAM1900036) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior discretionary funding action focused on education-related work. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.931, with an anticipated single award and an award ceiling of $26,583. The opportunity was created on December 21, 2018, and lists an original closing date of December 31, 2018, though that date is largely procedural in this case because the announcement is not open for competition.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not a request for applications and is not soliciting proposals from the public. Instead, the NPS is indicating its intent to issue funding directly to a specific organization: the Student Conservation Association (SCA). The mechanism for doing so is a task agreement issued under a previously awarded cooperative agreement (P15AC00031). In practical terms, that means the overarching cooperative agreement was established earlier, and this action is a formal step to provide additional project-specific funding and define the scope of work for the internship activity under that existing agreement.
Eligibility language in the record identifies nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants, but the notice makes clear that this particular action is directed to SCA rather than being an open opportunity. The overall intent is to support an interpretation internship, which in the NPS context generally relates to public-facing education and visitor engagement work (such as interpretive programming, guided walks, educational outreach, exhibits, and other efforts that help visitors understand park resources and stories). The listing of "Expected Awards: 1" reinforces that the NPS planned a single recipient for this specific funding action.Apply for NPSNOICHAM1900036
