Major Fellowships
Voyager Scholarship
The Voyager Scholarship, created by the Obamas and Brian Chesky, Airbnb CEO, 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. Students will receive up to $25,000 per year in financial aid for their junior and senior years of college; a $10,000 stipend and free Airbnb housing to pursue a summer work-travel experience between their junior and senior year of college; a $2,000 travel credit every year for 10 years, totaling $20,000; and participation in an annual summit to help define and inspire their public service journey. Applicants must plan to enroll full-time in their junior year of study at an accredited four-year college or university in the U.S. Eligible students are: finishing their sophomore year at the time of application or transferring from a two-year to a four-year college for their junior academic year; have a minimum 3.0 GPA; plan to pursue a career in public service upon graduation; be a US citizen, permanent resident, or an individual granted deferred action status under DACA.
