Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 CIS 010 001
The FY 2017 Citizenship and Assimilation Grant Program focuses on enhancing citizenship instruction for immigrants in the U.S. The Office of Citizenship within USCIS aims to support community-based organizations in developing or improving their citizenship instruction programs. Recognizing the importance of naturalization in helping immigrants integrate, this grant promotes essential skills like English language proficiency and understanding U.S. history and civics.
Community organizations are crucial for reaching lawful permanent residents and assisting them on their path to citizenship. The grant is intended to empower these organizations by funding programs that provide necessary training and knowledge to facilitate assimilation into American society.
To qualify, applicants must demonstrate experience in offering English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction and include a citizenship curriculum with a textbook plan. Organizations must also commit to enrolling at least 125 students and providing a minimum of 40 hours of instruction per student throughout the grant period. Additionally, applications can include costs for staff training to gain DOJ accreditation if aligned with the organization's mission. USCIS may suggest changes to educational materials during the grant's initial phase.Apply for DHS 17 CIS 010 001
