Freeman-ASIA Program
For Spring 2007 & Early
Academic Year 2007-08
Awards
For students applying to study abroad programs of 10 weeks or more with start date in between December-April.
NIU Application Deadline: September 1, 2006
Freeman-ASIA (Freeman
Awards for Study in
Asia) is designed to
support American
undergraduates with
demonstrated financial
need who are planning
on studying overseas in
East or Southeast Asia.
In the past, there have
been few funding
opportunities for study
abroad in Asia.
However, with the
generous support of the
Freeman Foundation, the
Institute of
International Education
(IIE) now administers
the Freeman-ASIA Awards
in order to give more
American undergraduate
students the means to
study in East and
Southeast Asia.
Freeman-ASIA Award
recipients are expected
to share their
experiences with their
home campuses to
encourage study abroad
in Asia by others, and
to spread greater
understanding of Asian
peoples and cultures
within their home
communities.
