Current Cohort
In the program’s second year, many institutions applied to the IIE American Passport Project, each with a curated plan to demonstrate how they would be able to utilize the grant to support diverse student populations to obtain their U.S. passport and plan for studying abroad. Many institutions will be working collaboratively across their campus with teams such first-year faculty, admissions, financial aid, and TRIO programs, among others, to reach eligible students. Receiving their passport is just the first part of the student journey, and the awarded institutions have innovative plans to provide the advising and unique support to enable their study abroad plans.
