Freeman Awards for Study in Asia (Freeman-ASIA) Summer 2017 Online Applications Open
The Institute of International Education (IIE) is now accepting applications for the Freeman-ASIA Summer 2017 competition. The student application deadline is 5:00pm Eastern on March 1.
The Freeman-ASIA program is designed to support U.S.-based undergraduates with demonstrated financial need who are planning to study abroad in East or Southeast Asia. The program’s goal is to increase the number of U.S. citizens and permanent residents with first-hand exposure to and understanding of Asia and its peoples and cultures.
Award recipients are required to share their experiences with their home campuses or communities to encourage study abroad by others and fulfill the program's goal of increasing understanding of Asia in the United States.
From its inception in 2001, Freeman-ASIA has made study abroad in East and Southeast Asia possible for over 4,600 U.S. undergraduates from more than 600 institutions.
