Overview

Opening Doors to Opportunity

The Passport Scholars Program matches 10th grade girls with summer programs in the United States and abroad. For many girls this may be their first experience away from home. Passport gives them an opportunity to step out of their environment and meet new challenges, and opens the door to new worlds through study, travel and adventure.  The Passport experience helps girls develop the conviction that they can achieve anything that they set their minds and hearts on.

The summer experience lays a foundation upon which to build for college and for life. When the girls return from their summer programs, Passport continues to provide ongoing support through college counseling and additional opportunities.
