Lugar Introduces Senate Resolution Supporting Goals of the Lincoln Commission
Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) introduced legislation on Friday that would express the sense of the Senate that the federal government should endorse the goals set forth by the Commission on the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship Program to expand the opportunity for students at institutions of higher education in the U.S. to study abroad. The bill seeks a review of the Commission’s recommendations by the Secretary of Education one year after enactment. The review would include a report to Congress on the feasibility of implementing the recommendations and establishing a national scholarship program, as recommended by the Commission, that provides opportunities for students at institutions of higher education to study abroad.
