This extra guidance could be especially beneficial for 18-year-olds away from home for the first time. (Adding to the stress, processing times have been delayed because of post-pandemic travel demand.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilson also sees it as a chance to promote study abroad to new students and help them decide what programs are best for them \u2014 or how to get additional funding for their travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The idea is that the passport is a real but overcomeable barrier for students who have never had one, never left the country,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a regular passport costs $165, making it more accessible might be the nudge that makes international education possible for some students. &#8220;It all feels more achievable,&#8221; Wilson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this American Passport Project, IIE aims to provide the document to 10,000 students. It\u2019s the initiative&#8217;s third year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA passport is the first thing that opens up their world to the possibility of study abroad,\u201d said Courtney Temple, the organization&#8217;s executive vice president and chief administrative officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to receiving the IIE funds, Transylvania <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2023\/06\/us-department-of-state-ideas-program-awards-transylvania-study-abroad-grant\/\">was recently awarded<\/a> a U.S. Department of State grant helping
