About Thunderbird

• History (1/2)
• The remnants of Thunderbird's history as a former
  training facility for WWII pilots can still be
  seen on the modern campus in a number of landmark
  buildings, including the airfield control tower.
• In Celebrating its 60th anniversary, Thunderbird,
  School of Global Management is the oldest and
  largest graduate management school in the United
  States focused solely on preparing international
  business leaders. It was founded in 1946
  following World War II by Lieutenant General
  Barton Kyle Yount, the Commanding General of the
  U.S. Army Air Training Command.
• A pioneer and visionary of his time, General
  Yount saw a growing demand for international
  executive talent and had a dream to create the
  first school of business to focus exclusively on
  international management. That dream was realized
  April 8, 1946, when the School received its
  charter and General Yount became the School's
  first president. The School was founded as a
  nonprofit organization known as the American
  Institute for Foreign Trade. Classes began
  October 1, 1946, and its first class graduated
  June 14, 1947. The school has since graduated
  more than 38,000 students who live and work in
  more than 140 countries.

• Covers both tuition and living expenses.
• Comments from alumni who have been distinguished
  with the award
• There is no scholarship in Chile, Latin America
  or even worldwide, that remotely compares to The
  Ena Craig de Luksic Foundation Scholarship. I
  had the luck to attend the best school in
  international business, where apart from
  perfecting my managerial skills, I effectively
  expanded my business contact network and more
  importantly established lifelong relationships
  with friends throughout the world. As an
  example, only in the 2005-2006 period, Ive
  housed three T-birds that graduated with me.
  Marcelo Padilla (The Ena Craig de Luksic
  Foudation Scholarship recipient 2003)
• On a daily basis I have to deal with people from
  at least five different countries. With all of
  them, I can relate like Im one of them. I have
  developed that cultural sensitivity that
  definitely gives me an advantage in the business
  world. I owe this to Thunderbird where I learned
  from first hand what diversity is, and I couldnt
  have done it without the support of this
  Scholarship. Javier Arriagada (Ena Craig de
  Luksic Foundation Scholarship recipient 2001)
