The Luksic Fellowship of the Schwarzman Scholars program, established in 2018, is an annual funding designation for one Chilean or Latin American candidate for the Master’s program at Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University. 

What is the Schwarzman Scholars program?

Schwarzman Scholars is the first scholarship created to respond to the international landscape of the 21st century, under the belief that the success of future leaders around the world depends upon an understanding of China’s role in global trends. 

Each year, up to 200 future leaders from the U.S., China, and the rest of the world matriculate as Schwarzman Scholars at Tsinghua University in Beijing to pursue a one-year Master’s Degree. Scholars, chosen exclusively by the Schwarzman Scholars program, demonstrate exemplary leadership qualities and the potential to understand and bridge cultural differences.
