Andronico Luksic Fellowships for Croatia

The Andronico Luksic Fellowships were established in 2006 to advance Croatia's public interest by providing educational opportunities for the country's human capital at Harvard University - one of the United States' most revered institutions of higher learning, serving as a center of excellence across the world for centuries. The Fellowships honor the life and legacy of Mr. Andronico Luksic, a visionary Chilean leader and entrepreneur of Croatian descent.

The Luksic Fellowships are based at the Harvard Kennedy School. Through its dedication to promoting innovative and effective governance, the Harvard Kennedy School has set global standards in training leaders for public service since its inception in 1936. The Fellowships provide support for master's degree students and executive education participants.

The Luksic Fellowships enable qualified individuals from Croatia to pursue one of the following master's degree programs at the Harvard Kennedy School.

• Master in Public Policy (MPP)
• Master in Public Administration (MPA2)
• Master in Public Administration in International Development (MPA/ID)
• Master in Public Administration/Mid-Career (MPA/MC)

Luksic Fellowships for degree programs are awarded for the entire duration of the recipient's master's program. A generous living stipend to defray the cost of living is also provided and will be calculated by the Luksic Fellowship selection committee.

The Luksic Fellowship is applicable only while the recipient is enrolled in the Harvard Kennedy School and is not otherwise transferable. Recipients pursuing dual-degrees cannot transfer any portion of their fellowship towards the non-HKS degree.
