I’m really passionate about photography and am looking to study it further in college. Are there scholarships available for international students in this field, especially for the upcoming year? Any advice or recommendations would be super helpful!
Definitely, there are quite a number of scholarships available for international students passionate about photography. While I don't have specific applications or due dates to provide, here are a few prominent scholarships that have been awarded to international photography students in the past:
1. The World Press Photo Foundation Masterclass: This course is geared towards professional photographers, especially those from regions where access to high-quality training isn't readily available.
2. The Alexia Foundation Grant: This one is aimed towards photojournalism students looking to produce a specific project that promotes social change.
3. The Nikon Storytellers Scholarship: Specifically meant for those who showcase the power of storytelling through photography.
Remember, each scholarship has its own eligibility criteria and application process - and these can change annually. So, you should visit their websites to get the most current information.
Additionally, it would be beneficial to research individual universities, as many will have specific scholarships for their students, including international students pursuing photography or related programs. Most of these scholarships would normally be found on the university's financial aid page or the department’s site.
Lastly, it might help to visit online scholarship databases, like Appily or Scholarship.com, and set specific filters for art and international students. That should provide you with a list of applicable opportunities.
These ideas should provide a good starting point for finding photography scholarships for international students. Good luck with your search!
