The scholarship is meant to help students (Class 12 passed onwards) who are enrolled in a photography-related course with a duration of 3 months or more.
Photography is not ‘just a hobby’ for youngsters nowadays. Rather, it has become an emerging career option for them. If you have an urge to capture special moments on your camera with a certain technical understanding and artistic ability, photography is a suitable profession for you. In today’s competitive era, the demand for skilful photographers has increased tremendously.
Therefore, there are institutions which offer photography-related courses to help aspirants gain relevant professional knowledge and skills. However, the fees, camera and other instruments related to this career option may burn a hole in your pocket.
So, to support the dreams of next- generation photographers, Nikon India Private Limited has come up with the Nikon Scholarship Program.
