Emory Free Passport Initiative
In an increasingly interconnected world, getting a passport is a crucial first step in gaining international exposure to enhance global education. However, limited access to resources prevents many students from participating in activities abroad. To champion student flourishing and increase equitable access to global education experiences, the Office of Global Strategy and Initiatives' Atlanta Global Partnerships implemented the Emory Free Passport Initiative, a program that covers the costs of passport application and/or renewal fees for a limited number of Emory students who receive financial aid.
This initiative is supported by Emory Global Student Travel Support. Sponsor a student’s passport fees of $170 ($130 passport book, $35 processing fee, and $5 photo) by donating to the fund here.
How To Apply
The Free Passport Initiative is open to currently enrolled Emory students receiving financial aid. Please fill out the application here. Accepted applicants will be scheduled for a dedicated appointment at Emory Passport Day, held on April 20. Please be sure to complete and bring all items listed on the checklist.
Deadline: March 30, 2023
Requirements:
- Must be a currently enrolled Emory University student receiving financial aid.
