Funded by a $100 million personal contribution from
Brian Chesky to the
Obama Foundation, the
Voyager Scholarship gives college students financial aid to help alleviate the burden of college debt, meaningful travel experiences to expand their horizons, and a network of mentors and leaders to support them throughout their careers. The scholarship is anticipated to support 100 students in the first year and scale to support greater numbers of students over the coming years who are committed to entering careers in public service.
“If we want this next generation of leaders to be able to do what they need to do, they have to meet each other. They have to know each other. They have to understand each other’s communities,” said
President Obama in the announcement video, “You’re going to find young people from every corner of this country who are going to be future change makers. There are leaders everywhere. We just have to find them.”
“Education is personal for me,” said former First Lady Michelle Obama, “I’ve met so many young people who are interested in public service, but they’re wondering how they’re going to pay for school or whether they’ll get to see the world beyond their own community. We could not be more grateful to team up with Brian to help out these young people on their journey to create change.”
Meanwhile, over on
Fox,
Melania Trump was complaining about not being on the cover of
Vogue, “They are biased, and they have likes and dislikes, and it’s so obvious. And I think
American people and everyone see it, and I have much more important things to do — and I did in the
White House— than being on the cover of
Vogue.”
The
Obamas are helping to encourage and shape future generations of community leaders, while the
Trumps are off in their health code violating
Florida exile nursing bitter grievances about not getting more attention, all the while bitterly jealous of the
Obamas, who they spread the birther conspiracy about.
