<Title>Freeman-ASIA Scholarship for Study Abroad</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>The
     Institute of International Education (IIE) is now accepting 
    applications for summer 2016 Freeman Awards for Study in Asia 
    (Freeman-ASIA).<p>The student deadline for summer 2016 is <span><span><span><span>March 1</span></span></span></span>, and the adviser deadline is <span><span><span><span>March 8</span></span></span></span>. To access the application, and to learn more about eligibility, timelines, and scholarship requirements, please visit our <span>website</span>: <a href="http://www.iie.org/Programs/Freeman-ASIA" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.iie.org/Programs/Freeman-ASIA</a>.</p><p>The
     Freeman Foundation’s generous support for the relaunch of Freeman-ASIA 
    builds on prior grants to IIE that funded more than 4,500 American 
    undergraduates in Asia from 2001 to 2014. The newly available awards 
    will advance IIE’s Generation Study Abroad, a five-year initiative 
    aiming to double the number of U.S. students abroad by the end of the 
    decade by mobilizing resources and commitments across the higher 
    education, philanthropy and corporate sectors.</p><p>The Freeman-ASIA 
    relaunch is the latest of several steps IIE has taken to increase the 
    number and diversity of Americans studying abroad and their study 
    destinations. Studying in Asia before graduating can give students a 
    competitive advantage in their professional careers, especially when 
    collaborating with international peers. More than half of Freeman-ASIA 
    alumni reported being employed in a position related to Asian affairs or
     requiring knowledge of an Asian language. As more employers seek new 
    hires with meaningful and substantive experience in Asia, it is critical
     that more Americans learn about and engage with Asian economies, 
    political systems and cultures.</p><p>Read the press release: <a href="http://www.iie.org/Who-We-Are/News-and-Events/Press-Center/Press-Releases/2016/2016-01-05-IIE-Relaunches-Freeman-Asia" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.iie.org/Who-We-Are/News-and-Events/Press-Center/Press-Releases/2016/2016-01-05-IIE-Relaunches-Freeman-Asia</a></p><p>Visit the <span>website</span>: <a href="http://www.iie.org/Freeman-ASIA" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.iie.org/Freeman-ASIA</a></p><p>Please contact Steven Dale with any questions: <a href="mailto:freeman-asia@iie.org" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">freeman-asia@iie.org</a> <br></p></div></div>
