Six out of 25 Lithuanian Heritage schools, participating in AKGP 2014 program, received their checks during a Lithuanian Heritage School Converence in Boston, MA. The rest of the schools will receive their financial support once they meet AKGP request to have their schools registered with the CAL database, and will contribute to the KFF e-center for Lithuanian schools.
In 2014, AKGP allocated grants for the total of $116 400. Three years and $400 000 later, AKGP ends but the A.Kazickas Legacy continues through the Lithuanian Proficiency Exams offered and financed by the KFF, which enable Lithuanian School students to request Lithuanian Language credits on their High School diploma, and the advocacy for the schools at the Lithuanian Goverment and the World Lithuanian Community level. US Lithuanian Schools will be able to continue to request the KFF support through the regular KFF grant application submission process.
