Yue Zhang (Ewan), 2019July 2019 will definitely be an unforgettable time in my life, in which I studied at FEN Summer School, Universidad de Chile, for two weeks sponsored by the Luksic Scholarship.
I’ve always thought that nothing can be better than living and studying in a different country, even a continent. I was so lucky to have experienced both at the same time.
When in Chile, lectures let me get a basic sense of business in Latin America, communication with my classmates broadened my horizons, and daily life made me feel the breath of the whole country.”

Once the initial cycle of scholarships ended in 2016, they were renewed with the first two universities.
In 2022, with the aim of deepening this collaboration, the University of Notre Dame (ND) and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC|Chile) announced a joint call for the development of collaborative research between the institutions, under the name of “ND-UC|Chile Luksic Scholars Joint Research Awards”. The selection of proposals will be made exclusively by a panel of experts from ND and another panel of experts from UC|Chile.

Fernanda Soza, 2018Along with Scott FitzGibbon, a law professor from Boston College, we were working for over a year in the first edition and translation of Padre Alberto Hurtado’s work to the English language. Long hours in the library ended up with an international conference and the launching of the book Social Morality in Boston College.
Being a window to show Hurtado’s thinking- a man that struggled for civil rights and the creation of a fairest world- is a privilege that was only possible due to the generous contribution of the Luksic grant.”
