The 2010 Grand Recipients and Citizenship Resource Center announced by USCIS –Blog

On Sept 17 every year, U.S

On Sept 17 every year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services observes the Constitution and Citizenship Day in commemoration of the signing of the U.S. Constitution in the year 1787. As a part of this celebration, the Promoting Citizenship and Immigrant Integration Conference is held on the same day every year. This year, around $8 million has been recently announced as grants for community based organizations by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) at the special Constitution Day and Citizenship Day conference.

According to Alejandro Mayorkas, USCIS Director, the new citizenship grant program and the web portal would provide support required for citizenship services. He further added that the integration grant program would encourage immigrants who wish to become the citizens of the United States.

As per the announcement made, USCIS will grant $7.8 million dollars to around seventy-five organizations from around 27 states. This funding has been made to further foster citizenship education programs and to promote immigration integration.

Two funding programs have been included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Citizenship and Integration Grant Program.

Locally based citizenship programs have been strengthened through the first grant program. It has also expanded the naturalization services.

The second grant program allows national, regional, and statewide organizations to increase the citizenship services with the help of their members or associates across the country.

Around 13 organizations were granted a total sum of $1.2 million for the citizenship programs in the year 2009, which is considerably less compared to fiscal year 2010.

Apart from the $8 million grant, a new Web-based Citizenship Resource Center has also been released by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Through this new, free, and easy-to-access web portal, applicants can now understand the citizenship process better. Thus, they can easily get through the naturalization interview.

The new web-based portal features podcasts for applicants, links to the American Literacy Directory, and teaching tools to assist citizenship instructors.
