PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad
Program Act of 2017''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) To prepare students for success in the modern global
economy, opportunities for study abroad should be included as
part of a well-rounded education.
(2) Study abroad programs provide students with
unparalleled access to international knowledge, an unmatched
opportunity to learn foreign languages, and a unique
environment for developing cultural understanding, all of which
are knowledge and skills needed in today's global economy.
(3) Less than 2 percent of all enrolled postsecondary
students in the United States study abroad for credit in any
given year, and minority students, first generation college
students, community college students, and students with
disabilities are significantly underrepresented in study abroad
participation.
(4) Congress authorized the establishment of the Commission
on the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship Program pursuant
to section 104 of the Miscellaneous Appropriations and Offsets
Act, 2004 (division H of Public Law 108-199). Pursuant to its
mandate, the Lincoln Commission submitted to Congress and the
President a report of its recommendations for greatly expanding
the opportunity for students at institutions of higher
education in the United States to study abroad, with special
emphasis on studying in developing nations.
(5) According to the Lincoln Commission, ''[e]xperience
shows that leadership from administrators and faculty will
drive the number of study abroad participants higher and
improve the quality of programs. Such leadership is the only
way that study abroad will become an integral part of the
undergraduate experience.''. A competitive grant program is
necessary to encourage and support such leadership.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to ensure that significantly more students have access
to quality study abroad opportunities;
(2) to ensure that the diversity of students studying
abroad reflects the diversity of students and institutions of
higher education in the United States;
(3) to encourage greater diversity in study abroad
destinations by increasing the portion of study abroad that
takes place in nontraditional study abroad destinations,
especially in developing countries; and
(4) to encourage a greater commitment by institutions of
higher education to expand study abroad opportunities.
