Ann and Randy Hart Passport Scholarship

To help Temple students pursue personal and intellectual growth through international experiences, Temple University president and her husband, Randy, have established a scholarship intended to support the cost of passport fees for Temple undergraduate students who plan to study abroad.

The program provides scholarships of upt to $100, an amount intended to equal to the application cost for a United States Passport, to all first-year and transfer students who intend to study abroad and are applying for a passport for the first time.

To be eligible, students must apply for a passport between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009, and must demonstrate intent to study overseas for credit while enrolled as an undergraduate at Temple.In addition, an eligible student's first semester as a matriculated student at Temple must be either fall 2008 or spring 2009.  Applications for passport renewals do not qualify. 

To participate, students must complete the scholarship application form available in the International Programs office (200 Tuttleman Learning Center). After submitting proof of payment for the passport application, the office will process the application and award the scholarship.

“Internationalization will help you develop the point of view essential to contribute as citizens of the world and compete in the global marketplace,” said Hart, in announcing the passport program to students during her March investiture ceremony. “Get a passport and use it during your years of study at Temple; go on study abroad; serve an international internship. I am so convinced that this experience is essential to your education that my husband Randy and I will pay your passport fee.”

Deadline for submitting a scholarship application: June 1, 2009.  Deadline for submitting receipts: June 30, 2009.
