We are excited to share that we are collaborating with the U.S. Department of State and the Institute for International Education (IIE) in providing free passports to 25 eligible UMBC students!
This joint initiative has a few steps that are as follows:
-Apply by the deadline of October 29, 2021
-Your nomination will be sent to the Institute for International Education and they
will email you to confirm your eligibility.
-You will come to a Passport Processing Meeting with the Education Abroad staff
(we will assist you with filling out the forms and obtaining your photos)
-You will come to a Passport Application Appointment on November 17
Please understand that you will be asked to provide proof of US Citizen status, and proof of current Pell Grant eligibility to UMBC's Education Abroad Office, and/or the Institution for International Education. These criteria are both requirements for the passport opportunity.
The first 25 students who apply, are eligible, and who commit to all steps will be nominated for the free passport.
Contact educationabroad@umbc.edu if you have any questions about this opportunity.
