By Gloria Jea at 5:56 PM FREEMAN ASSIST: FUNDING FOR ASIAN UNDERGRADS WITH SUMMER NON-PROFIT INTERNSHIPS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Institute of International Education (IIE) is pleased to announce that it is now accepting applications for Freeman ASSIST.
The Freeman ASSIST program provides educational allowances to outstanding undergraduate students from East and Southeast Asia who are currently studying in the U.S. and who secure internships with U.S. not-for-profit organizations during the summer of 2007.
Freeman ASSIST, generously sponsored by the Freeman Foundation, offers educational allowances to Asian students who choose to spend their summer in an internship based at a not-for-profit organization in their host community or elsewhere in the United States. The program seeks to facilitate greater interaction between young Asian students and U.S. not-for-profit and community groups by creating paths for sharing experiences and enhancing mutual understanding.
To qualify, students must be citizens of countries in East and Southeast Asia (Brunei, Cambodia, China, East Timor, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam). Citizens and legal permanent residents of the United States are not eligible.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 13, 2007
