The Blakemore Foundation is a leading nonprofit that promotes Asian language education and cultural exchange. Its Blakemore Freeman Fellowships offer Asian language scholarships to outstanding professionals and scholars.
Each year, the Blakemore Foundation grants full funding for one year of intensive study in Asia. Fellows can study Asian languages in Asia such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian. The language fellowships for professionals cover tuition, travel, and living costs.
The program supports mid-career professionals in business, academia, law, journalism, and public service. It helps them gain language fluency to advance their work and strengthen global connections.
Through these initiatives, the Blakemore Foundation builds lasting ties between the United States and Asian nations. Its mission is to prepare leaders who promote understanding, cooperation, and meaningful cultural dialogue worldwide.
