Dear International Listserv Members: 

Freeman Awards for Study in Asia (Freeman-ASIA) 

Spring 2009 and Early Academic Year 2009-10 Awards application cycle now open.

(For students applying to study abroad programs of 10/12 weeks or more with start date between December-April.)

 

Student Application Deadline - Wednesday, October 15, 2008

Adviser Endorsement Deadline - Wednesday, October 22, 2008

**Please note: There are now two deadlines for submission of online student applications and online advisor endorsements. 

 

The Freeman-ASIA Program aims to increase the number of U.S.
undergraduates who study in East and Southeast Asia by providing them with the information and financial assistance they will need.  Award recipients are expected to share their experiences with their home campuses to encourage study abroad in Asia and to spread greater understanding of Asian peoples and cultures within their home
communities.      

 

Since the launch of the program in 2000, Freeman-ASIA has supported almost 4,000 U.S. undergraduates with their study abroad plans in East and Southeast Asia.  Award amounts for the current application cycle range from a maximum of $5,000 for a semester/quarter program to a maximum of $7,000 for an academic year program.  Applicants must currently receive need-based financial aid or demonstrate through FAFSA a verifiable need for financial assistance to study abroad in Asia.
Applicants must also plan to study in one of the following countries and
regions: Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam.

 

The Freeman-ASIA Program is made possible by the generous support of the Freeman Foundation and is administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE).
