The UF International Center is offering the “Passport to the World” scholarship in order to make studying abroad more accessible for students. This scholarship will cover the costs of obtaining a US passport through a UFIC grant paid directly to UF Mail & Document Services on your behalf.

Please note that the processing time for a new passport is 8-11 weeks. Therefore, we encourage you to apply early in order to have your passport before your program start date. If you apply by the priority deadline, you will have a chance to be awarded this scholarship early and have more time to prepare your passport application.
