In a stirring nod to his post-presidency mission, former President Barack Obama announced the fourth cohort of the Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholarships, spotlighting 100 diverse college juniors poised to redefine public service. Co-launched in 2022 with Michelle Obama and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, the $100M initiative—backed by the Obama Foundation—delivers tuition aid, global travel stipends, and mentorship to underrepresented voices tackling food security, STEM equity, and beyond.
