Freeman-ASIA (Freeman Awards for Study in Asia) is designed to support
American undergraduates with demonstrated financial need who are
planning to study overseas in East or Southeast Asia.  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.

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 2001 to 2009, Freeman-ASIA supported over 4,000 U.S.
undergraduates from more than 600 institutions with their study abroad
plans in East and Southeast Asia.

With generous funding from the Freeman Foundation, the Institute of
International Education (IIE) will re-launch the Freeman-ASIA Program
for two academic years, beginning in Summer 2011.  The deadline for
applying for funding for Summer 2011 is February 15, 2011.
