What this list does not tell you
- 4 of the 4 awards below have no single published closing date — most run on an annual cycle whose exact date the funder confirms each year. Always check the provider's own page before you plan around a deadline.
- Funding in Chile changes with government budgets and university intake targets. Programs get suspended between cycles, and a fully funded award one year can become partial the next.
