These scholarships offer a unique opportunity to deepen academic knowledge, gain cross-cultural experience, and contribute to Chile’s development from a global perspective. Through partnerships with leading institutions in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and China, the Luksic Foundation supports individuals who seek to strengthen their professional skills and apply their expertise towards the country’s progress.
“We believe in the transformative power of international education and in expanding access to these opportunities. The Luksic Scholarships aim to connect Chile with the world, enabling recipients to engage, share experiences, and exchange knowledge with global academic communities, strengthening their professional development and their contribution to Chile’s growth,” said María Trinidad García, Director of International Education at the Luksic Foundation.
The Luksic Scholarships fully fund the academic studies and experience of selected candidates, who are chosen directly by the partner universities based on their admission criteria. Recipients also join the Luksic Scholars Community, a global network of over 2,000 members that fosters collaboration, lifelong learning, and knowledge exchange among those who have participated in Foundation-supported programs since 2000.
