Luksic Fellowship

About the Fellowship

The Luksic PhD Fellowship was established in 2010 by Andrónico Luksic and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to provide an extraordinary opportunity for one Fellow each year to pursue studies at MIT's renowned Department of Political Science. The Fellowship supports education and research opportunities primarily for MIT students who are citizens of Chile, fostering the development and growth of new leaders in policy and political science.
