ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The University of Hawai‘i Maui college's office of international and regional partnerships works continuously to connect students from Maui and abroad to develop meaningful relationships in an increasingly globalized world. For example, the University of Hawai‘i Maui college offers study abroad programs in Canada, the Czech Republic, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Okinawa, the Philippines, Portugal, and Spain. Such programs offer students the opportunity to gain foreign language skills and cross-cultural competence. The college's office of international and regional partnerships also works in partnership with the non-profit Maui County Sister Cities Foundation to promote economic and educational relationships between Maui county and the world. Based upon past travel costs, the college's office of international office and regional partnerships estimates that $37,500 is needed to send eighteen to twenty students to participate in these study abroad programs.
The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to the University of Hawai‘i Maui college for scholarships in its office of international and regional partnerships to subsidize travel expenses and tuition, which will encourage students to study abroad in other countries.
SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $37,500 or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2020-2021 for the study abroad programs offered by the University of Hawai‘i Maui college's office of international and regional partnerships.
The sum appropriated shall be expended by the University of Hawai‘i Maui college for the purposes of this Act.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2020.
