AKGP

Alexandra Kazickas Grant Program (AKGP) was established in 2012 to support Lithuanian Heritage Schools in the US.

Alexandra Kazickas was deeply committed to the preservation of a Lithuanian identity for young people growing up in the US. Her generosity in 2006 enabled the founding of the first heritage school on Long Island, NY Alexandra Kazickas Lithuanian School. The mission of the AKGP was to support the work of the 40 Lithuanian Heritage schools, operating in accordance to the regulations of the Lithuanian Education Council of the US. These schools help preserve Lithuanian language and culture for the benefit of individuals, communities and society. When in partnership with local organizations and academic institutions, Heritage schools provide students with multiple ways of learning through educational and enrichment experiences and opportunities.

 

With the program KFF seeks to support and encourage teachers' productive work, participation at the continuous education conferences, sharing of knowledge and experiences. One of the goals is to have the Lithuanian language proficiency assessments conducted by globally accredited institutions in the Heritage language schools which would result in awarding of internationally recognized Lithuanian language proficiency certificates. Students spend numerous hours over the years learning Lithuanian language, culture and traditions, giving up investment in other activities. KFF seeks a stronger impact of the education at the Lithuanian schools on students future.

 

Lithuanian Heritage schools, subbmitting applications for the first time, apply through the regular application process.
