The Institute of International Education (IIE) is pleased to
announce that it will re-launch the Freeman-ASIA Program with a generous grant
from the Freeman Foundation.
Freeman-ASIA provides financial support to American
undergraduates with demonstrated financial need to study abroad for academic
credit during the summer, semester or academic year in one of 15
countries/regions in East and Southeast Asia. Award amounts vary from $3,000 –
$7,000 depending on the length of study.
The program’s goal is to increase the number of Americans
with first-hand exposure to and understanding of Asia and its peoples and
cultures. Upon their return to the U.S., students are required to promote study
in Asia by sharing their experiences with peers on their home campuses and in
their communities.
Applications can be submitted online starting in
January 2011 for study abroad beginning in Summer 2011. Freeman-ASIA
scholarships will be available for study abroad anytime through the 2012-13
academic year, with application deadlines listed on the program website.
