For students of limited means, studying abroad can require long-term planning and involve financial hurdles, like the cost of a passport, which could bar them from moving forward.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iie.org\/Learn\/Blog\/2021\/05\/IIE-Passport-Project\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more about the project and IIE.<\/a><\/p><h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Award Benefits<\/h5><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each participant will receive $145 to apply towards their U.S. passport application process.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A cohort of grant recipients will be created to\u00a0help guide the awardees through the process of applying for a passport and finding relevant study abroad programs and scholarships.
