The Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholarship for Public Service is designed for students entering their junior year of college in the United States who are passionate about contributing to the public good and would benefit from support, connections, and life experiences to help them succeed. The Voyager Scholarship provides students with financial aid, access to travel experiences to expand their horizons, and a network of mentors and leaders to support them throughout their careers. Candidates must plan to enroll full-time in their junior year of study at an accredited four-year college or university in the US, have a minimum GPA of 3.0+, demonstrate a commitment to public service, plan to pursue a career in public service upon graduation, and be a US citizen, holder of a Permanent Resident Card, or an individual granted deferred action status under DACA.
Students will receive up to $25,000 per year in “last dollar” financial aid for their junior and senior years of college. Students will receive a $10,000 stipend and free Airbnb housing to pursue a summer work-travel experience between their junior and senior year of college. After graduation, Airbnb will provide the students with a $2,000 travel credit every year for 10 years, totaling $20,000.
