These scholarships will support applicants who are Chilean citizens domiciled in Chile for entry in 2025-2026 for the MSc programme in 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

Scholarships are available for full-time, on-campus study on the MSc Data and Artificial Intelligence Ethics programme. The MSc in Circular Economy is currently under review and is not currently accepting applications for entry in 2025.


  • 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 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
