The Mentored Path to Citizenship Grant is a $680 naturalization grant awarded annually to provide assistance to one to two qualified individuals in L.A. County seeking U.S. citizenship. This one-time grant will provide financial assistance towards application fees, while also giving the recipients the opportunity to receive assistance from the Asian Pacific American Legal Center throughout the application process.

All interested individuals are asked to complete a written application which may be found below or available by calling the office at (213) 250-9888. Applicants must show proof of residency in Los Angeles County and demonstrate eligibility to become a U.S. citizen. Viable candidates will be interviewed in a confidential screening process by OCA-GLA with assistance by APALC.

We are no longer receiving applications for 2012.  Please check back in December 2012 for the announcement for our next cycle.
