3 million in grant funding to 32 school districts and charter schools to strengthen multilingual programming in school settings, including world language, heritage language, and English learner programs. Heritage languages are languages other than English used in homes, communities and families. This funding promotes inclusive, supportive and culturally sustaining learning environments for all students.
“In Massachusetts, we want all students to succeed, regardless of zip code or circumstance. This funding helps create inclusive and high-quality learning environments for all students, particularly multilingual learners,” said **GovernorMaura Healey. ** “Residents of Massachusetts speak a wide variety of languages, either in addition to or instead of English,” said **Lt.
Governor Kim Driscoll. **“These grants enable districts to create programs that best align with their students’ needs and are an investment in our future workforce. ” The Proficiency Outcomes in World Languages grant program supports school district engagement in local and state world language advisory teams that inform new tools and recommendations for schools and educators.
It also enables implementation of high-quality world language assessments and analysis of course-taking patterns to identify gaps in student access and opportunity. The English Learner Education Support grant program enables school districts to develop and/or implement an alternative bilingual English learner education program, as well as develop or enrich high-quality curricular materials.
Further, districts can use the funding to create or expand their own bilingual education hub and/or English as a second language (ESL) teacher hub. These hubs improve the bilingual education educator pipeline, share knowledge to accelerate the adoption of proven and recognized programmatic models for English learners, and develop successful models that can be replicated for years to come.
They also provide training alongside a mentor teacher and concurrent coursework in the area of ESL licensure. “We know that schools need to give students multiple routes to multilingualism, and these grants provide districts with the funding and support they need to make that happen,” said **Education Secretary Dr. Patrick Tutwiler.
**“It also helps increase the cultural and linguistic diversity of the workforce, which benefits all students. ” “This funding will help districts move closer to DESE’s Educational Vision of helping all students be known and valued, making learning relevant and interactive, and giving students the individualized supports they need to succeed,” said **Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner Pedro Martinez.
** “Effective language instruction is an important piece. ” In 2025, Governor Healey signed the Protect Education Equity Bill, adding guarantees to the right to a public education in Massachusetts for all students regardless of their immigration or citizenship status.
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) released heritage languages guidance_(download)_ and a best practices manual_(download)_ in June that detail legal requirements for implementing a heritage languages program and provide robust ideas, examples, and vignettes of important practices in these programs and courses.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
