[USA] The Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholars 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 by January 1, 2007.
- Students are advised to register now for SAT and TOEFL or IELTS.
- Notification by April 1, 2007.
- Japan notification by March 1, 2007.
Wesleyan is now accepting applications for participation in the Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholarship Program. The chosen applicants will join 2,700 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.
REQUIRED TESTING
To qualify, applicants must take the SAT Reasoning Test of the College Board. (Applicants in the People’s Republic of China, where the SAT is not available, are exempt from this requirement.) Non-native speakers of English also must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) in place of the TOEFL. Students should receive a score that demonstrates sufficient proficiency in the English language to function well in a highly demanding academic environment. A score close to 600 on the paper-based TOEFL or 250 on the computer-based TOEFL, or a “7” on the IELTS, would be evidence of adequate English language ability. (A high score – 650 or better – on the critical reading section of the SAT may also demonstrate the necessary English language proficiency. In such cases, submitting the TOEFL or IELTS results is not necessary.) These examinations must be taken by January 1. All examinations are administered on several dates, with a registration deadline approximately six weeks before the exam. Please be sure to list Wesleyan University (undergraduate) as an official score recipient.
APPLICATION
Interested students also must submit a written application that includes background information, two essays, a secondary (high) school/junior college transcript, recommendations from two teachers and one counselor, a peer reference, and results of any standardized national examinations administered during the secondary school/junior college years. Officials from Wesleyan and the Freeman Foundation will travel to Asia and conduct interviews of finalists in their home countries in February or March. All application materials are to be postmarked no later than January 1. (For students in the Philippines, we recommend mailing your application earlier or using a courier service.)
You may write to Dean Terri Overton at toverton@wesleyan.edu to request the special Freeman Scholarship application forms. Be sure to provide your regular mailing address. The application for the Freeman Asian Scholarship is different from the Common Application and it is not available on-line. You should not submit the Common Application as well.
Applications are also available from secondary (high) schools/junior colleges, from the AIG offices listed, and from the USAEducation Centers shown below. Please note that a complete listing of U.S. Education Advising Centers, including ones outside of capital cities, can be found at http://www.educationusa.state.gov/centers/index.cfm?regim=EA.
It is likely that some highly qualified applicants who would otherwise be admissible to Wesleyan will not be chosen for the highly selective Freeman Asian Scholarship. No financial aid is available to such students, but those who do not require financial assistance to attend are encouraged to apply as "regular" applicants to Wesleyan University. To be considered as a "regular" (non-aided) admission candidate in the event that you are not selected as a Freeman Scholar, please indicate your interest in the place provided on the Freeman Scholarship application. The "Common Application" is not required, but the application fee of $55 is needed. (There is no application fee for students applying only for the Freeman Asian Scholarship.) Dual Freeman Asian Scholarship/"Regular" admission candidates must submit a Certification of Finances form documenting that the family has sufficient resources to fund the entire cost of education, approximately $48,000 each year.
