Dear Rector Vivaldi:

I hope you're all right.

My name is Jeff Swiryn, Executive Director of the Luksic Scholars Foundation.

Here,all, I wanted to inform you about an opportunity recently launched by our organization, alongside Stanford University, with the support of the Luksic family.

It is a scholarship to conduct the Visiting Scholars and Fellows program at the Center for Latin American Studies at Stanford (CLAS), USA, aimed at Chilean professors and academics from various areas looking to research outside.

In addition, the beneficiaries will have at their disposal the thousands of volumes of the library of that study house, contact with fellow teachers, and access to programmatic programs and activities of the center.

In order for you to disseminate this opportunity among your institution's teacher campus, I go on to detail the benefits that the scholarship envisages:

The scholarship is to allow the Visting Scholar/Fellow to develop its research project for a quarter in Stanford, California.

Within the benefits, the selected candidate will get a round-trip airfare in economy class, housing allowance and a discreet stipend. CLAS will provide shared office spaces, and privileges for library use. Visiting Scholars and Fellows are expected to join CLAS academic life and attend conferences and public events organized by the Center.

In the case of interested parties, you can refer the following application requirements:
