Highlight: Attention college sophomores! Are you interested in a financial aid and leadership development program that aims to reduce debt and other barriers to pursue a career in public service? If so, consider applying for the Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholarship for Public Service! This leadership program is a two year program that facilitates opportunities for students to refine their values-based leadership approach, build bridges across communities, and nurture their sense of curiosity as they deepen their commitment to pursuing public service careers. This leadership program provides up to $50,000 in financial aid over two years, $14,200 in travel, free Airbnb housing for a summer, and $20,000 Airbnb travel credits for over 10 years after graduation! Voyagers (those in the leadership program) design their own Summer Voyage to gain exposure to new communities and experiences, and they also gain access to a global network of leaders and mentors and may attend in-person events to develop themselves! There is an information session for this leadership program available, along with FAQs, and an application link. All in all, if you are interested in developing yourself and discounted work-travel experiences, you should definitely check this out!
