	Freeman-Asia Awards Study Abroad in Asia DESCRIPTION The primary goal of the Freeman-ASIA Program is to increase the number of American undergraduates who study in East and Southeast Asia, by providing students with the information and financial assistance they will need. Awardees will be expected to share their experiences with their home campus to encourage study abroad by others, and to spread understanding of Asia in their home communities. ELIGIBILITY must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at the time of application. must be currently enrolled as undergraduates in a U.S. college or university and be in good academic standing. must currently receive financial aid or have verifiable need for financial assistance to study abroad in Asia. Priority will given to students with no previous experience in the Asian country in which they plan to study. Awards are available only to students who plan to study abroad in the following countries/regions: Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam. Within three months after return from a study abroad program in Asia, awardees must fulfill a service requirement to promote study abroad in Asia on their home campus and share their knowledge with their community. AWARDS The amount of Freeman-ASIA Awards are determined by the length of the study-abroad program. For a summer program (minumum of four weeks abroad) the Award is $3,000; for a semester program, $5,000, and for an academic-year program, $7,000. If program costs are less than the Award amount (or covered by existing financial aid) students can use the Freeman-ASIA award to cover related expenses such as airfare, living costs, books, etc. SELECTION Selection is based on a combination of financial need; plans to study abroad in one of the East or Southeast Asian countries listed above; and a thoughtful plan to return to campus to share experiences and to encourage others to study in Asia.
