Odyssey Traveler Scholarships started for lower socio-economic background’s student

Humans have always been accustomed to traveling. Since the beginning of time, living a nomadic lifestyle as hunters and gatherers has been embedded in our genes. The concept of travel has been overly romanticised over time in an effort to capture the perfect moment to post on social media for all to see. Following the fad has caused us to lose sight of travel’s true purpose, which is to explore, discover, and establish connections with the natural world.

Shoshin Tribe, a travel start-up, launched Odyssey Travel Scholarship 2022 in collaboration with goSTOPS, a chain of backpacker hostels, to remind people of what travel really means for and raise awareness by highlighting stories on sustainable and responsible travel in India. Six people from various walks of life were chosen as recipients of this one-of-a-kind, fully-funded travel fellowship in order to feed their souls through travel in its purest form.

Odyssey has been giving university students $10,000 Equity & Merit Cash Scholarships each year since 2012.
