Applications will be accepted until April 30, 2010, and may be found online at www.grants.gov.

USCIS has two competitive grant opportunities. The Citizenship and Integration Direct Services Grant Program (DHS-10-CIS-010-003) will strengthen locally-based citizenship preparation programs. The Citizenship and Integration National Capacity Building Grant Program (DHS-10-CIS-010-002) will increase the capacity of members or affiliates of national, regional, or state-wide organizations to offer citizenship services in underserved communities. A total of 50 awards are expected and recipients will be announced in September 2010.
