Rising Black Scholars Can Qualify For A Free Passport

Miami Dade College was selected to participate in the Institute of International Education American Passport Project.

The program, which will take place through December, will cover the cost for 25 Rising Black Scholars to receive a passport. Miami Dade College, the only higher-education institution in Florida selected to participate in the project, will assist students with the application process.

To qualify, students must be at least 18 years old, United States citizens, first-year students with Pell Grant eligibility and be requesting a passport for the first time. For more information click here

“Being selected to participate in the IIE American Passport Project solidifies MDC’s commitment to bringing the access gap to international education for its most underrepresented students,” said Michaela Tomova, the vice provost of Academic Affairs who oversees the Office of International Education at MDC.
