The Alexia Student Grants – until 30 September 2019

Posted on by

Deadline: 30 September 2019. The Alexia Foundation offers a Student Alexia Grant to enable current college student photographers to produce substantial bodies of work that share the Foundation’s goals of promoting world peace and cultural understanding. Work that helps bring about change is more valued.

Student applicants are encouraged to consider proposing projects close to where you are. Our experience is that you’re more likely to produce a successful body of work if you can easily access the setting where you’ll produce the work. Most student grant recipients had already started working on the project for which they received an Alexia grant.

The first place grant recipient receives a semester-long fellowship that pays tuition for three courses at Syracuse University. The recipient is also the graduate research assistant for The Alexia Chair at The Newhouse School during the semester.

Prizes:

The primary student grant – first place – goes to one person. We will also recognize two additional finalists. Grants vary between undergraduate and graduate students.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT AWARDS

First Place Award if Recipient is an Undergraduate Student:
• This award pays tuition for three under graduate courses and program fees during a semester at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
• $1,000 cash grant to help produce the proposed project.

GRADUATE STUDENT AWARDS

First Place if Recipient is a graduate student:
• This award pays tuition for three graduate-level classes and program fees during a semester at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
• $1,000 cash grant to help produce the proposed project.

The two finalists receive: $500 and may attend a Momenta Workshop or MediaStorm Workshop during the calendar year after being named a finalist.

MediaStorm workshops: one day workshop http://mediastorm.com/train/workshop/one-day-workshop And a four day workshop: http://mediastorm.com/train/workshop/methodology.

If recipients cannot accept any portion of their awards, these awards may be offered to other applicants at the discretion of the Foundation.

Eligibility:

Applicants must be actively pursuing a graduate, undergraduate or associate degree in an accredited college or university in the U.S. or internationally or have graduated in May 2019 or be currently on an internship. You may not apply if you have graduated as of the end of 2018. No student who has worked as a professional photographer for more than one (1) year is eligible, including internships that total more than one year.
