CHICAGO (WHTC-AM/FM, Sept. 14, 2022) – A West Olive woman is in line for some help from a foundation established by the 44th President of the United States.
Mariel Vander Schuur, a junior at the University of Michigan, was named yesterday as one of 100 recipients of the initial Voyager Scholarship program. The effort by former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, through a $100 million personal contribution by Airbnb co-founder Brian Chesky to the Obama Foundation, aims to financially help students who plan to pursue a career in public service through funding their studies, travel and networking.
Vander Schuur is currently focusing her education in women’s and gender studies, along with environmental science, while at school in Ann Arbor.
