KC R. Sandidge Photography Scholarship
Distinguished photographer Dorothea Lange once said that, “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”
Pictures can often tell stories that words cannot. Photographers use their skills and artistic eye to focus on details that help enhance the little aspects of life. The KC R. Sandidge Photography Scholarship will support one high school senior who strives to make photography a part of their future.
Any high school student with an interest in pursuing photography is encouraged to apply for this scholarship.
To apply, submit a collection of 3-5 images from your photography portfolio that relate to one another in a way that is entirely up to you. Editing is allowed as long as the integrity of the subjects photographed are maintained.
Tell us about your journey in creating the portfolio you submitted.
