USCIS Announces Expansion of Citizenship and Integration Grant Program and the Opening of the Grant Application Period
June 12, 2023
Today, USCIS announced the expansion of the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program, which provides funding for citizenship preparation programs in communities across the country. The program, now open for applications, will provide up to $25 million in grants to prepare immigrants for naturalization and promote civic integration through increased knowledge of English, U.S. history, and civics. In addition to the traditional programs that fund citizenship and English classes, the 2023 grants also include opportunities for creative and innovative approaches to preparing immigrants for naturalization.
“Through our Citizenship and Integration Grant Program, we are helping to increase integration services like English language, U.S. history, and civics instruction to noncitizens on their journeys to becoming American citizens,” said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. “Through additional funding opportunities, organizations will be able to reach more communities and ensure noncitizens have access to the tools and resources needed for citizenship education.”
