“Chile has made remarkable progress in recent years and the future holds great promise. These fellowships are designed to link the Kennedy School and Harvard University with Chile’s continuing evolution in an enduring and mutually beneficial partnership. We are deeply grateful for the enormous generosity of the Luksic family in establishing these fellowships, which will enable Chileans to engage in innovative approaches to governance with peers and experts from around the world, while fostering greater understanding of the Chilean experience and its importance to the development of Latin American civil society among members of our scholarly community.”
