Today, virtually anyone with a phone can capture a photograph. It’s a simple act that allows people to document their lives and share their unique experiences and perspectives with friends, family, and the world.

Recognizing the profound impact of photography, the Student Life Photography Scholarship seeks to empower students to share their academic journey through this expressive medium. We're looking for photographs that encapsulate the essence of being a student—be it your study sessions at a local café, campus events, watching the sunset over campus, or quiet moments in your dorm room. These snapshots should tell a story about your academic environment or experiences.

To apply, please submit an original horizontal-oriented photograph that captures an aspect of your student experience. No need for a fancy camera. You can do this from your phone!

By applying for this scholarship, you grant Bold.org permission to use your image submission anywhere on Bold.org's website. Let your creativity shine, and share your unique perspective through photography!
