Internal Scholarships
We have various internal scholarships to support Doctoral residencies, co-tutelage, participation in congresses, among others. We invite you to discover them.
What are internal scholarships?
The Graduate School offers internal support mechanisms to fund full doctoral studies as well as complementary internationalization activities. Internal scholarships are intended for students who can demonstrate that they do not have access to external funding, such as ANID or similar sources.
What kind of benefits can I access through internal scholarships?
