Our citizenship course takes you through step by step of the citizenship application process. In collaboration with USA LEARNS, we provide the tools you need to take the exam and to be prepared for your citizenship interview. Through exam study, mock interviews and application assistance, we help you feel more comfortable navigating the citizenship process. We also offer assistance with specific application questions and exam questions, however we do not provide legal assistance at this time.

Online HiSET/ GED Classes
Postponed UNTIL March!
6:00pm-7:00pm
Our online High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) prep class offers students a way to prepare for the HiSET exam in order to pursue their dreams to attend college. The classes are currently offered in Spanish as a way to help Spanish speakers take the exam in Spanish. Our tutors offer assistance with the test application, questions on the exam and other information about the test taking process.
Citizenship Application Scholarships
The citizenship application can be a daunting and costly process. With support from our generous donors, we are able to provide 4 scholarship opportunities per year to those individuals who are ready to file their citizenship application but demonstrate a financial burden prohibiting them from filing.
We will provide a $500 stipend to those who have graduated from our classes and have proven a financial hardship that is a barrier to their application. This stipend is paid directly to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service to help offset the rising costs of citizenship applications. We want our students to feel comfortable applying for citizenship. If you think you might qualify for financial assistance, please contact us!
