Scholarship winners will also get an Airbnb credit worth $2,000 a year for 10 years after their graduation, which is in addition to Chesky's donation a foundation spokesperson said.
“There are young people across the country who have a passion for public service, but can’t pursue it because of their student loan debt,” Chesky said."We want to help reduce that burden.” Some 43 million Americans carry student loans worth $1.6 trillion, according to federal figures.
