The Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholarship Program

The Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholarship Program provides expenses for a four-year course of study toward a bachelor’s degree for up to twenty-two exceptionally able Asian students annually from these countries and regions: the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
• Applications must be postmarked or submitted online by January 1, 2009.
• Students are advised to register now for SAT (or ACT) and TOEFL or IELTS.
• Notification by April 1, 2009.
• Japan notification by March 1, 2009.


Wesleyan is now accepting applications for participation in the Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholarship Program. The chosen applicants will join 2,800 other Wesleyan undergraduates from throughout the United States and nearly 50 countries for study with an outstanding teaching and research faculty in the sciences and mathematics, the arts, the humanities, and the social and behavioral sciences.
This program is made possible by Wesleyan University and the Freeman Foundation, which aims to improve understanding and to strengthen ties between the United States and the countries and regions of the Pacific Rim.


Approximately 200 graduate students, a number of whom are from Asian countries, are pursuing advanced degrees, principally in the sciences, mathematics, and music.

THE FREEMAN FOUNDATION
The first Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholars enrolled at Wesleyan in September of 1995. The Freeman Foundation, sponsor of the Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholarship Program, was established in 1994 through the bequest of Mansfield Freeman, a businessman, benefactor, scholar, and longtime resident in Asia who was a member of the Wesleyan University Class of 1916. Mr. Freeman was an insurance executive and one of the original founders of what is now the American International Group, Inc. (AIG). The New York–based Freeman Foundation, which established the Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholarship Program in memory of Mansfield Freeman, is administered primarily by the Freeman family; its charitable efforts are directed mainly toward bettering relationships and understanding between the United States and the countries of East Asia. This program’s goal is for Freeman Asian Scholars to become leaders in their home countries.


SCHOLARSHIP FINANCIAL AWARDS
Scholars Each Freeman Scholar will receive a scholarship to cover the cost of tuition and student fees (called "full tuition scholarship") regardless of his or her family's financial situation. Although costs are not yet established for 2009-2010, in the 2008-2009 school year tuition and fees total $38,934. Families wishing to apply for financial aid to assist with the costs associated with room, board, travel, and books and supplies submit a completed
International Financial Aid Application by February 15. Wesleyan's Financial Aid Office will determine the family contribution. The family contribution is comprised of a parent contribution based on the parent(s) income and assets, as well as a student contribution. A scholarship applicant who is not requesting financial aid to cover the costs beyond tuition will need to provide documentation that his or her family has the financial resources to pay those costs by submitting the Certification of Finances Form. The form must show that the family can fund approximately $15,000 per academic year. (Again, the cost of attendance is not yet set for the 2009-2010 academic year, but the additional budget for new matriculants in the 2008-2009 academic year is $13,301 not including travel; residential comprehensive fee $10,636; books and miscellaneous $2,665).
