The Voyager Scholarship was created by the Obamas and Brian Chesky, Airbnb Co-founder and CEO, to help shape such leaders. It gives 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.

At this time, the Obama Foundation is searching for 100 undergraduate students who will become the next cohort of recipients of the Voyager Scholarship for Public Service, which includes:

  • Up to $50,000 in financial aid for their junior and senior years of college
  • A $10,000 stipend and Airbnb credit to pursue a summer work-travel experience between their junior and senior year of college
  • Invitation to a Fall Summit
  • Invitations to various Speaker Series and membership within Obama Foundation’s global community
  • 10-year travel stipend after graduation (a $2,000 Airbnb travel credit every year for 10 years, totaling $20,000)
