Need Help Paying for Your Visual Arts Degree? Check Out This Scholarship

Don’t let the naysayers deter you. A career in the arts can pay off.

In fact, Nikon is investing in budding photographers before they even get their careers off the ground. The corporation known for its professional-grade cameras and photo equipment will be giving away scholarships worth $10,000 each to 10 current college or graduate school students.

The Nikon Storytellers Scholarship is a new program that was created as part of the brand’s 100th anniversary celebration.

“Nikon understands the dedication it takes to pursue and become successful in creative fields, and we are honored to play a role in supporting students’ achievement in academic excellence,” Kosuke Kawaura, Nikon’s director of marketing, communications and planning, said in a press release.

Students who are awarded the scholarships will be able to use the money for tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment for the 2018-2019 school year.
