What is the Passport Grant?

• The Augustana IOP Passport Grant is a need-based scholarship of $1,000 awarded to 30 Augustana students annually to support their participation in an Augustana faculty-led study away program in January, June or summer. 
• Grant awards are applied directly to the cost of the Augustana program, acting as a discount on the program expense. Funds cannot be used on a program that is not led by an Augustana faculty member
• Students must have paid a $300 deposit to a faculty-led or summer study away program before March 15, 2024, to be eligible to apply for the Passport Grant.
• The grant application deadline is March 15, 2024, and grants will be awarded approximately two weeks later.
• See www.augustana.edu/academics/core/study-abroad/passport-grants for more information and for the application form.

Use $2,000 to help offset the costs of the study abroad trip of your dreams! This is a life-changer.
