Voyagers Scholarship for Public Service

An increasingly globalized world needs young leaders who can bridge divides and help solve our
biggest challenges. The Voyager Scholarship was created by the Obamas and Brian Chesky,
Co-Founder and CEO of Airbnb, to help shape such leaders. Even though they come from different
backgrounds, President Obama and Brian both believe that exposure to new places and experiences
generates understanding, empathy, and cooperation, which equips the next generation to create
meaningful change.
Young people from every corner of this country who share a curiosity about the world and the conviction to want to make positive change within it—just like the scholarship’s founders. Students should have a passion for helping others, experience serving in or building community, and an expansive view of what’s possible through public service.
Current college sophomores or community college students with demonstrated financial need who
plan to enroll full-time in their junior year of study at an accredited 4-year college or university in the
United States in Fall 2026 are encouraged to apply.
Deadline: March 17, 2026
