Thunderbird Scholarships for Japanese Students

Learn more about your impact

The Thunderbird School of Global Management is the vanguard in leadership, management and business education, preparing changemakers to drive the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Your support for this fund provides scholarships to Japanese students interested in attending Thunderbird. Thanks to your generosity, globally minded students in Japan have an opportunity to attend Thunderbird and enjoy all it has to offer.

I am looking forward to a career in Digital Transformation and Sustainability Solutions at a global organization, and Thunderbird is the best place for me. Being at Thunderbird, which is around 50% international and very diverse, I have had the chance to learn from and experience international cultures, as well as the U.S. culture. To attend Thunderbird, I saved money for a very long time, especially because I came here with my wife and son. Scholarships from private support would allow me to have much less financial burden and would be so meaningful to me and my family as I study and find future work. Future Japanese students will be lucky to have your support."

Impact of donor support

Scholarships strengthen Thunderbird’s global impact. By reducing financial barriers, scholarship support enables students to participate fully in experiential learning, global programs and leadership opportunities. Because of our donors, Thunderbird has over 30 donor funded scholarships and fellowships that it awards students annually, each one expanding opportunity and unlocking a student's potential.

Student success extends beyond graduation. Thunderbird students have an 82% employment rate six months after graduating, a statistic made possible in part by donor-funded initiatives that strengthen career readiness.

Our global alumni give back. Over the decades, more than 18,000 T-birds have invested in the Thunderbird community and the next generation of global leaders through philanthropy. 

The Thunderbird alumni network includes over 40,000 graduates across more than 130 countries, reflecting Thunderbird’s commitment to a truly global learning community. When you give, you stand alongside a global network committed to strengthening the Thunderbird legacy.
