First Passport Project

The Passport Project removes one of the primary barriers to global experiential learning by funding the first ever passport for students accepted into a Washburn University Study Abroad program/ 

Studying abroad is among the most impactful educational experiences a student can have. It supports deep academic engagement, fosters transformational personal growth, and prepares students to contribute meaningfully to global society. Funding from this project supports first time travelers by covering their passport cost and enabling them to take the initial step toward achieving their international education goals. 

Donations are directed to the Study Abroad Office First Passport Project Fund. By supporting the First Passport Project, donors help students begin international scholarly journeys that cultivate intellectual curiosity, academic confidence, and the development of future global leaders and changemakers. 

Suggested Donation Levels: 

International Education Scholar — $170 

  • Covers the full cost of a passport. 
  • Removes the initial financial barrier to high impact global learning. 

Experiential Learning Advocate — $85 

  • Covers half the cost of a passport. 
  • Combined with additional support provides access to high impact global learning 

Academic Journey Champion — Custom Amount 

  • Any amount toward student passport funding. 
  • Flexible giving that directly advances students toward reaching their goal of participating in high impact global learning.  

Transform learning. Transform lives. Support global education access.
