Asia - Awards for Study in Asia

Tel: 212.984.5542
E-mail: Freeman-ASIA@iie.org
Study abroad for
U.S. students is expanding rapidly, but the number of students heading to
Asia has not kept pace with the rest of the world. According to Open Doors,
IIE's annual survey of international student mobility, the majority of U.S.
students who study abroad go to the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy or
Germany. In the most recent survey, over 60% of all U.S. students studying
abroad went to Europe while only about 5% studied in East and Southeast Asia,
with the majority going to Japan or China. Yet, there are over a hundred programs
to choose from in East and Southeast Asia, with a wide range of costs. In
the past there have been few funding opportunities for study abroad in Asia.
Through an IIE-administered program generously supported by the Freeman Foundation,
the Freeman Awards for Study In Asia (Freeman-ASIA) will help fill this gap.
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.
