Description
Each year LSE awards a number of scholarships, funded by private or corporate donations. The number, value, eligibility criteria and type of scholarships vary from year to year.
All scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial circumstances in the first instance, and secondly take into account academic merit.
LSE is delighted to announce the continuation of the Luksic Scholarship.
Through a generous gift to LSE, Chilean students who receive an offer of admission from the Master of Public Administration (MPA) or the Master of Public Policy (MPP) programmes, within the School of Public Policy, will be considered for awards from the funds available.
Scholarships offered for the MPA programme will be renewed for Year 2, subject to academic progression.
The Luksic Scholarships for Public Service have been established to support the creation of trained leaders and experts with a public vocation in Chile, based on specific competencies and experiences that allow individuals to generate change in their professional environment.
