Abraham Lincoln Commission on Study Abroad Congress established the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Commission in 2005 to develop the framework for an international study abroad program for college students that would subsidize and stimulate infrastructure to send 1M American college students to study abroad every year by 2017. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois (D), and inspired by the lobbying of Senator Paul Simon, who believed, in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks on the United States, that one of the most constructive ways to defend against future vulnerabilities in an increasingly connected world would be to encourage international education by subsidizing oversea study for college students.
