From emerging as leaders in finance, education and the private and nonprofit sectors, the intersection of the Peace Corps and the Thunderbird education has created truly global citizens.
Your investment in the Thunderbird RPCV Endowed Scholarship will not only attract high-caliber students with unique global experiences but also strengthen the RPCV community at Thunderbird.
Nothing is as fulfilling to me as contributing to communities' ongoing efforts to tap into their own potential, expertise and resourcefulness to develop resilience in the face of challenges. Thunderbird's international network and coursework are essential in carrying out my vision of leveraging innovative consultancy and implementation to champion local voices, providing me with the skills and knowledge to collaborate across cultures and sectors to usher change in this era of technological transformation and globalization"
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.
