Dear Furman students,
The Freeman-Furman International Internship Program in East and Southeast Asia is hosting an information session on Monday, October 26 at 3:30 in Johns Hall 101. This internship program supports students who independently seek and obtain a full-time international summer internship (i.e., 8 weeks, 35-40 hours/week) in one of the following locations: Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar/Burma, Mongolia, Thailand, Vietnam, Bhutan, Nepal, or Laos.
Furman University is the fortunate recipient of a grant from the Freeman Foundation which provides individual students with funding of $8,000 to participate in these engaged learning experiences. In other words, if accepted into the program, each student receives $8,000 to complete their internship. The application process is competitive and only a small cohort of 14 students are awarded these fellowships each year.
Rising sophomores, rising juniors, and rising seniors are eligible to apply. Students expecting to graduate in May 2027 are not eligible to apply. International students are also eligible, provided they intern in countries outside their country of origin.
Please attend the information session for more details about the internship program or visit our website at: More information can be found on our website: https://www.furman.edu/internships/freeman-fellowships/. If you have questions, please contact Professor Lane Harris ([email protected]) or Dr. Katie Maxwell ([email protected]).
