After generously sponsoring the program for 20 years, Wesleyan continues to honor the legacy of the Freeman Foundation through this scholarship which aims to improve understanding and strengthen ties between the United States and the countries and regions of the Pacific Rim.  A number of early Wesleyan graduates were influential educators and ministers in Asian countries, and the present-day Wesleyan has formal ties to several prominent universities in Asia.
