As part of the brand’s 100th Anniversary celebration, Nikon have established The Nikon Storytellers Scholarship. It is designed to help support the next generation of visual content creators. To kick things off, Nikon are offering $10,000 scholarships to 10 lucky students in the USA or Canada.
The scholarship is open to undergraduate and graduate students who will have finished their freshman year by Fall 2018. It’s available to those in the USA or Canada pursuing degrees in visual arts, fine arts, journalism, film, photography and multimedia/content creation.
