Passport to Global Empowerment information sessions

November 13, 2025
All Day
Room 008

The Center for Africana Studies Passport to Global Empowerment program will present free passports to 25 selected first-year undergraduate students. Eligible students must be U.S. citizens; Pell-eligible or have documented financial need; and 18 years or older and a first-time applicant.

Join us to learn: 

  • How to apply for your first U.S. passport
  • What documents you will need
  • When and where to take your passport photo
  • What happens after you get your passport

This program is powered by the IIE American Passport Project. Selected students will have their full passport costs covered—including the $130 passport book fee and $35 processing fee—and receive support to complete their application.

Sessions will take place from 10 to 11 a.m.; noon to 1 p.m.; 2 to 3 p.m.; and 4 to 5 p.m.
