Becas Internas PUCV – Postgrado

“The Doctorate Program in History allowed me to continue my academic training onto a high level without relocating to Santiago, Chile. The support I received in form of research funds and travels and publication assistance are instrumental in obtaining the degree and expanding my professional horizon. The program also gave me the necessary tools to develop a postdoctoral research project and obtain government funding from Fondecyt (Chile’s National Fund for Science and Technology) a year after finishing my Doctorate studies.”
