Q&A with Obama-Chesky Scholarship Recipient Iman Ahmad '27

Iman Ahmad '27, a government major and women's, gender and sexuality studies minor, became the third Dartmouth student to receive an Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholarship for Public Service.

At 23, Ahmad was awarded the scholarship, which provides $50,000 and funds a "summer voyage" to work and travel abroad during junior summer. The scholarship program, co-founded by Barack and Michelle Obama and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky in 2022, selects 100 scholars annually who demonstrate a passion for public service and helping others.

Ahmad, currently studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh, plans to use her scholarship to study law, focusing on immigration and human rights.

Selected scholars "have a passion for helping others, experience serving their communities and can demonstrate an expansive view of what's possible through public service."
