These grants enable current college student photographers and filmmakers to produce bodies of work that align with The Alexia’s mission.

We also encourage a diversity of creators, issues and approaches, and value work that elevates understanding and inspires meaningful change.

Student applicants are encouraged to consider proposing projects located close to where they live because a successful body of work is more likely with easy and repeated access. Most student grant recipients are already working on their projects when they apply.

The Alexia Vision Grant (student): $2,000, a Sony camera/lens, acceptance to the Eddie Adams Workshop (other finalists will get priority consideration for acceptance), the tuition and fees to audit three courses during a semester at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University in New York, and they will be considered for a paid position as research assistant to The Alexia chair. The runner-up for this award will receive $500.
