Columbia University visits Chile for the second year to connect with national talent
Since 2023, the Luksic Foundation has collaborated with the School of Professional Studies to support two full scholarships per year for candidates living or working in Chile admitted to the Master of Science in Sustainability Management.
In order to disseminate the Master of Science in Sustainability Management and connect with students, professionals and institutions interested in leading the change towards a more sustainable future, representatives of Columbia University were in Chile this week.
Since 2023, the Luksic Foundation has collaborated with Columbia University’s School of Professional Studies (SPS) to award two full scholarships each year to individuals living or working in Chile who are admitted to this graduate program.
During this visit, Amanda Carlson, associate dean of the School of Professional Studies, and Dr. John Williams, director of student affairs at Columbia’s School of Climate, participated in several face-to-face activities, including educational fairs and informational talks open to the public, meeting with more than 100 people at universities such as Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad Andrés Bello, Universidad de Chile, Universidad Diego Portales, and Universidad de Santiago de Chile.
About the program and the Luksic Scholarship
Columbia’s Master of Science in Sustainability Management is an interdisciplinary program that combines management, economics, quantitative analysis, public policy and sustainability practices. It has a flexible approach: of the courses offered, only two are required, allowing students to tailor their academic experience according to their interests and career path.
The program is taught in New York City and is designed to train professionals capable of leading sustainable strategies in companies, governments and organizations around the world.
The Luksic Scholarships cover 100% of the program costs, including tuition, fees, living expenses and installation costs.
Applications for the 2026-2027 cohort will open in the coming weeks and close on March 31, 2026. More information can be found on the Luksic Foundation website and a recording of an information session can be found on the Columba website. Interested individuals should apply directly to Columbia University.
In the coming months, the Luksic Foundation and Columbia SPS will organize new virtual information sessions for those who wish to learn more. This page will be updated with dates and registration details.
