Get Involved: Study Abroad Grassroot Campaigns

Paul Simon Study Abroad Bill
The Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad Foundation Act is a bill that will dramatically increase study abroad opportunities for U.S. students. Read more about the Simon bill at: www.nafsa.org/simon. Last year, the bill passed the House with unanimous support and enjoyed strong bipartisan support in the Senate, including that of former senators President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, where it was one step short of passage when the legislative clock expired last fall.

Global Learning
Global Learning is a national movement whose mission is to promote world peace by encouraging and enabling new high school graduates to live in other countries before they begin the next phase of their lives. We will achieve our mission by educating the public about the benefits of international experiences, informing people of existing programs, and making the opportunity available to everyone.
