Boise State celebrates 15 years as U.S. Passport Acceptance Facility
The Center for Global Engagement will host a month-long celebration in April to commemorate 15 years of service as a U.S. Passport Acceptance Facility. Boise State has been helping community members obtain their passports since 2011, making international travel more accessible for students, faculty, staff and the broader Boise community.
Over the past 15 years, Boise State's Global Learning office has awarded approximately $425,000 in scholarship funds generated from passport acceptance services. These scholarships have directly supported students pursuing international education opportunities and study abroad programs.
Special events in April
Boise State will host Passport Saturdays every Saturday throughout April 2026, providing convenient weekend access to passport services for busy families and working professionals.
On Friday, April 18, Boise State will host a special passport event featuring complimentary passport photos for all applicants. This exclusive offer provides significant savings for families and individuals preparing their passport applications.
"Our April celebration reflects our ongoing commitment to providing accessible, convenient passport services to everyone in our community," said Passport Program Manager Ami Tain.
