USCIS Announces Open Application Period for the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program

On April 24, 2024, USCIS announced the application period for the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program, which provides grant funding for citizenship preparation programs in communities across the country. The program will provide up to $10 million in grants to prepare legal immigrants for naturalization and promote civic integration through increased knowledge of English, U.S. history, and civics.

Per the USCIS announcement, the program expects to award up to 40 organizations up to $300,000 each for two years to expand availability of high-quality citizenship and integration services. This grant opportunity will fund public or nonprofit organizations that offer both citizenship instruction and naturalization application services to lawful permanent residents. Applications are due by June 21.  Prospective applications can review information on the application process here.
