UM Experiential Learning in East Asia: Freeman Grant
The Freeman Grant provides $6,000 for those awarded to intern in East Asia during Summer 2021! Applications are open for ALL students!
We are excited to announce that the Freeman Grant application for summer 2021 is OPEN. UM Experiential Learning in Eastern Asia is supported by a grant from the Freeman Foundation, of Honolulu, Hawaii, by the University of Mississippi Office of Global Engagement, and by the applicants’ respective schools to intern in an Eastern Asian country during summer 2021.
Grants are awarded on a rolling basis, so apply before all the grants have been awarded! Grantees will receive between $6,000 - $7,500 to advance their career goals and gain professional experience by interning full-time for at eight weeks in East Asia Summer 2021. At this time, we cannot guarantee that the grant will be able to proceed if circumstances out of our control change.
