Trump admin to distribute $14.2M for patriotic education grants to mark America’s 250th anniversary
President Donald Trump’s Education Department recently announced a new pool of federal grant money aimed at helping teach about American history and civics as the nation marks its 250th anniversary next year.
Called the American History and Civics Education National Activities-Seminars for America’s semiquincentennial program, it aims to create evidence-based seminars to coincide with the nation’s anniversary in 2026.
The grants will pay for seminars for educators or students on American history and civics, with a focus on primary documents and topics such as the Declaration of Independence, the principles of the founding fathers, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
The available pool of funding sits at $14.2 million, said department official Orman Feres during a July 1 webinar explaining the grants, adding the department expects to provide between seven and 10 awards.
