The Luce Scholars program is a prestigious initiative that offers young leaders from the United States the opportunity to explore Asia. It provides a unique chance for participants to gain firsthand experience in various fields, including business, education, and public service, while fostering cross-cultural understanding. Each year, the program selects a small group of scholars who receive funding for a year-long placement in an Asian country. The Luce Scholars program aims to develop a network of informed leaders who can contribute to U.S.-Asia relations and promote mutual understanding between the two regions.
