The Luce Scholars Program is a year-long opportunity for emerging leaders to deepen their ties and understanding of Asia’s countries, cultures, and people. Through language training and cultural immersion at a job placement aligned with your interests, you will gain invaluable insights and firsthand experience of life in a different country while developing the skills and understanding to become a global leader.
