The Voyager Scholarship (Obama-Chesky Scholarship for Public Service) was created by Michelle and Barack Obama and Brian Chesky, Airbnb CEO, who believe that exposure to new places and experiences generates understanding, empathy, and cooperation needed to equip the next generation to create meaningful change. Each year, this $50,000 scholarship aims to help shape 100 young leaders who can bridge divides and help solve our biggest challenges by giving college students financial aid to alleviate the burden of college debt, meaningful travel experiences to expand their horizons, and a network of mentors and leaders to support them. Recipients will also receive a $10,000 stipend and free Airbnb housing to pursue a summer work-travel experience between their junior and senior year of college, as well as a $2,000 travel credit for the next ten years.
Prospective applicants should make an individual advising appointment with Keila Diehl (ourschol-coordinator@berkeley.edu) in the OURS National Scholarships Office.
