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.”
Participants pursue a Master’s in Global Affairs, and in addition to classes, workshops, and mentorships, students also get the opportunity to interact with global leaders, cultural experts, and entrepreneurs. Schwarzman Scholars also provides Mandarin classes to allow candidates to better immerse themselves in Chinese culture and have a meaningful experience during their stay.
