The Schwarzman Scholars program offers a well-rounded educational experience each year at Schwarzman College, located at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, one of the most renowned academic institutions in the country. The Luksic Foundation provides annual financial support for a selected Chilean candidate to participate in this program, known as the “Luksic Scholarship in Schwarzman Scholars.”
