Triad naturalization application and education services collaborative

This federal Project Grant award of $300,000.00, provided by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under the Citizenship Education and Training Program (CFDA 97.010), will fund the "TRIAD NATURALIZATION APPLICATION AND EDUCATION SERVICES COLLABORATIVE" led by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G). The grant aims to expand access to high-quality citizenship instruction, naturalization application assistance, and integration services for lawful permanent residents in North Carolina.

As part of this effort, UNC-G has issued a $76,000.00 sub-award to the New Arrivals Institute Inc., a non-profit organization, to provide volunteer-led citizenship instruction and necessary educational supplies. The project will deliver comprehensive citizenship preparation services, including English language classes and assistance with the naturalization application process, to help immigrants integrate into American society. This two-year grant, awarded on November 22, 2024, will run through September 30, 2026.
