IIE American Passport Project

About the IIE American Passport Project

Annually, IIE will make grants to U.S. colleges and universities in the IIENetwork  so they can help U.S. students obtain a U.S. passport.  

It has long been part of IIE’s mission to promote international education and exchange, so that all students can gain the academic and career benefits of international experiences. The grant is intended to remove a common barrier that prevents students from even considering participating in study abroad.

In addition, IIE aims to support the IIENetwork members with their efforts to encourage students to go abroad who would otherwise not participate in an international experience as part of their college education. The program prioritizes students in their first year at the institution and those that have not yet received a U.S. passport, thereby students have ample time to receive their passport along with help from their advisors to map out a study abroad plan.
 
IIE will select U.S.-based IIENetwork member institutions to receive the grant to support up to 25 students from their campus, seeking to support a variety of institutions. 

The IIE American Passport Project application cycle is closed.
