The DLIG provides funds for projects to expand or establish dual language immersion programs that provide integrated language learning and academic instruction for native speakers of English and native speakers of another language with the goals of high academic achievement, first and second language proficiency, and cross-cultural understanding. Authorized under Assembly Bill 130, Chapter 44, Section 158 of the Statutes of 2021, the bill appropriated $10 million from the General Fund to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to be available through the 2024–25 fiscal year for the DLIG.

All applicants must submit a complete application, including all required components, to the Language Policy and Leadership Office by 4 p.m. on March 18, 2022. Incomplete or late applications will not be scored or considered for approval.
