Three George Washington University juniors have been named recipients of the prestigious 2025–2027 Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholarship for Public Service.

Amanda Valenzuela, Eve Danishevsky and Malyna Gomez Trujillo were selected for their commitment to public service, community engagement and demonstrated leadership potential.

The scholarship was created by former President Barack Obama, former first lady Michelle Obama and Airbnb co-founder Brian Chesky. It provides financial aid, summer travel opportunities to broaden recipients’ exposure to new communities and cultures, and access to a network of mentors and leaders in public service. This year’s cohort includes 100 students from 71 colleges and universities across 34 states and United States territories.
