The Worldwide ERC® Foundation for Workforce Mobility has collaborated with top-ranked Thunderbird, the School of Global Management, on research, training seminars, conference presentations, and articles. Now we're introducing our annual scholarship program, to be administered by Thunderbird on the Foundation's behalf.
One Foundation scholarship per year in the amount of $10,000 will be given to a student at Thunderbird to further the study of effective global business and leadership. The first Foundation Scholarship Award will be presented in the fall of 2007.
