Kenny Mok ’25 and Onyinyechi Owo ’25 have been awarded Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholarships for Public Service.
Founded by former President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Brian Chesky, the co-founder and CEO of Airbnb, the Obama Foundation works to create leaders who can bridge divides to help solve the world’s biggest challenges. Among the qualifications are a passion for helping others, service or community-building experience, and a commitment to public service.
Voyagers receive up to $50,000 toward college expenses and $10,000 and housing for a self-designed work-travel experience, or “summer voyage.” They also have access to a network of mentors and other support as they define their public service journeys.
