Deadline: January 15, 2019
Applications for the Photography Talk Scholarship 2019 are now open. The scholarship aims to help the next generation of photographers realize their educational dreams by supporting students in their college studies.
At PhotographyTalk, their mission is to help people become better photographers. That includes helping amateur and professional photographers expand their skill set to take better photos and build more successful photography businesses. Now, they are expanding their footprint to help a whole new group of people – students – to use photography to better their place in the world. Whether you’re studying to be an auto mechanic, a teacher or the next Jeff Bezos, photography does not discriminate. These days, we all carry around cell phones that have amazing cameras, which means anyone can master the art of photography.
