Young people from all over the globe are welcome to apply for the Obama Foundation Scholars. This is a full time program for the duration of the academic year. Scholars will receive a Master of Arts degree from the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy when they successfully complete the program. The deadline is on November 1st.
The Obama Foundation Scholars Program offers a scholarship that covers tuition and expenses and provides a monthly living stipend, funding for books and course materials, and opportunities to experience unique out-of-the-classroom programming. Any travel costs for these experiences will also be fully covered.
After completing the program, Obama Foundation Scholars will return to their communities and continue work they started in the program by implementing their own personalized action plan. They will also have an opportunity to play a role in the Obama Foundation’s efforts to inspire, train, and connect rising leaders from around the globe.
