Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholars Program, Wesleyan University
The Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholarship Program provides full scholarships for a four-year course of study toward a bachelor’s degree for up to eleven exceptionally able students annually from these countries: the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
After 20 years of generous support by the Freeman Foundation, Wesleyan continues to honor that legacy through this institutional scholarship, which aims to improve understanding and strengthen ties between the United States and the countries and regions of the Pacific Rim. A number of early Wesleyan graduates were influential educators and ministers in Asian countries, and Wesleyan currently has formal ties to several prominent universities in Asia.
