 Lydia Grate, Program Associate for the Voyager Scholarship will share information about this two-year program for students in their junior and senior years of college. Last year President and Mrs. Obama and Brian Chesky, Airbnb co-founder and CEO launched the Obama-Chesky Scholarship for Public Service, which supports talented U.S. undergraduates interested in public service careers. Designed to inspire, empower, and connect the next generation of leaders and equip them with the tools and resources they need to launch their careers in public service, the Voyager Scholarship offers a transformational combination of barrier-reducing financial aid, an immersive work-travel experience, and access to a robust network of Obama Foundation leaders and mentors. More details here.
