Freeman Awards For Study In Asia (Freeman-ASIA)

• The Freeman Foundation sponsors the Freeman Awards For Study In Asia (Freeman-ASIA). The program aims to strengthen ties between the United States and East Asia through education and promoting greater understanding of each other. U.S. citizens or permanent resident undergraduate students in good standing at two- or four-year colleges or universities are eligible to apply. Only applicants already receiving need-based financial assistance or who demonstrate such need are eligible. The award covers study abroad program expenses and airfare, living costs, local transportation and books. The program only considers students with little or no experience in the selected country. Intensive language study is an important segment of the program. The program requires award winners to reflect their experiences abroad within their home campuses or communities on return.

Killam Fellowships Awards

• The Killam Fellowships program provides for outstanding undergraduate students in the United States and Canada to participate in an exchange program for one semester or a full academic year. Students have two options for registration: as direct exchange students registering at their home university or as visiting students registering at the host university. In 2011, the scholarship value was $10,000, which covers two semesters, plus a $500 allowance for health insurance costs. Additionally, a mobility grant for up to $800 is available by application to assist with the costs of an educational field trip. The direct exchange program provides for a high-cost allowance to offset tuition differentials, applied in special cases only.
