Freeman-EAS: Freeman Emergency Assistance for Students
from Southeast Asia |
Requirements/Restrictions |
Students must meet the following criteria to be considered for a Freeman-EAS educational allowance:
- Be a citizen or permanent resident of Indonesia, Malaysia or Thailand
- Be an undergraduate pursuing a two-year Associate’s degree or a four-year Bachelor’s degree at an accredited US institution, already enrolled as of December 2004
- Be in good academic standing, as defined by their host campus, and be in legal non-immigrant status in the US (US permanent residents and US green card holders are not eligible to apply)
- Demonstrate that their financial ability to continue their studies has been directly affected by the December 2004 earthquake/tsunami
Previous Freeman-EAS awardees (Spring 2005 ) are eligible to apply for a second award. In addition, universities nominating students for Freeman-EAS awards must indicate how the campus will also provide financial assistance to the nominated students. The host campus is not required to match the full amount of the Freeman-EAS award, but is required to contribute some amount to the student’s total expenses through a tuition waiver, scholarship, stipend, loan, work study, or other form of financial assistance. |
