The Luksic Scholarship for Sustainability & Data at the Edinburgh Futures Institute

These scholarships will support applicants who are Chilean citizens domiciled in Chile for entry in 2025-2026 for MSc programmes in Circular Economy or Data and AI Ethics at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, for full time, on campus study.

 We are offering four scholarships, for the sum of £53,550 each. These awards will be tenable for the 2025-2026 academic year and tuition will be automatically deducted with remaining funds being awarded towards living costs and travel fees. 

  • Tuition fee: £30,500
  • Living costs/travel fees: £23,000

Scholarships are available for full-time, on-campus study on the MSc Data and Artificial Intelligence Ethics or MSc Circular Economy programme.


  • Students applying for this scholarship are expected to study on campus, full-time and must be a Chilean citizen or permanent resident domiciled in Chile without dual citizenship of a nation that would allow them to pay local fees. 
  • The scholarships will be awarded to new applicants who have received an offer to either the MSc in Circular Economy or the MSc in Data and Artificial Intelligence Ethics at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, commencing in September 2025.
  • Applicants must have, or expect to obtain, the equivalent of a UK first class or 2:1 Honours degree at undergraduate level.

The scholarships are awarded on academic merit; however, candidates should demonstrate in their written statement some or all of the following: 

- an interest in social change in Chile

- evidence of work experience either in the public sector or in a role with strong social impact

- be the first in their family to attend University

- come from a region outside of Santiago

 

All scholarship award holders are expected to be energetic members of our postgraduate community and will engage with opportunities to present their work to the wider student and staff body during the period covered by their award.  We offer our postgraduates a range of training and development opportunities appropriate to their programme of study.
