PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Innovation Inspiration School Grant 
Program Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) According to the National Science Board's 2010 Science 
        and Engineering Indicators, only 5 percent of American college 
        graduates major in engineering. In Asia, about 20 percent of 
        all baccalaureate degrees are in engineering and in China about 
        33 percent of baccalaureate degrees are in engineering.
            (2) Although 4th graders in the United States score well 
        against international competition, students in the United 
        States fall near the bottom or dead last by 12th grade in 
        mathematics and science, respectively.
            (3) Admissions requirements for undergraduate engineering 
        schools include a solid background in mathematics (algebra, 
        geometry, trigonometry, and calculus) and science (biology, 
        chemistry, and physics), in addition to courses in English, 
        social studies, and humanities.
            (4) According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall 
        engineering employment is expected to grow by 11 percent from 
        2008 through 2018, and, as a group, engineers earn some of the 
        highest average starting salaries among individuals holding 
        baccalaureate degrees.
            (5) According to the Department of Labor, engineers should 
        be creative, inquisitive, analytical, and detail-oriented. 
        Engineers should be able to work as part of a team and to 
        communicate well, both orally and in writing. Communication 
        abilities are becoming increasingly important as engineers 
        interact more frequently with specialists in a wide range of 
        fields outside engineering.
            (6) Exposure to project- and problem-based learning, in a 
        competitive team environment, gives 9th through 12th graders 
        the skills that they need to be successful in engineering 
        programs of study and engineering careers.
            (7) According to Brandeis University's Center for Youth and 
        Communities, participants in FIRST Robotics (a nonprofit 
        organization that inspires young people to be science and 
        technology leaders by engaging the young people in mentor-based 
        programs)--
                    (A) are more likely than nonparticipants to attend 
                an institution of higher education on a full-time basis 
                (88 percent versus 53 percent);
                    (B) are nearly 2 times as likely to major in a 
                science or engineering field; and
                    (C) are more than 3 times as likely to have majored 
                specifically in engineering.

        total assets exceed the institution's average total assets 
        during the calendar quarter ending before the date of any 
        determination referred to in subsection (a)(1)(A), because of
