Congratulations to Middlebury junior Rani Basnet, an International and Global Studies major, who has received the highly selective Obama-Chesky Scholarship, also known as the Voyager Scholarship. Basnet is one of 100 college and university students from the United States to win the award! It is now in its third year.
Created by former President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Airbnb founder Brian Chesky, the scholarship is awarded to college juniors who plan to pursue a career in public service. The award provides up to $25,000 per year in financial aid and a $10,000 stipend and free Airbnb housing for a self-designed international travel experience during the summer between junior and senior years.
