David L. Boren Awards for International Study

Freeman-ASIA provides scholarships for U.S. undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need to study abroad in East or Southeast Asia.  Applicants should have a minimum 2.8 GPA.  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.  Awards of up to $3,000 are available for summer programs.  Award recipients are required to share their experiences with their home campuses or communities to encourage study abroad by others.

Freeman-ASIA is sponsored by the Freeman Foundation and administered by the Institute of International Education.  Boren Scholarship applicants who plan to study in East or Southeast Asia are welcome to apply for both awards.
