The Alexia Foundation promotes the power of photojournalism to give voice to social injustice, to respect history lest we forget it and to understand cultural difference as our strength - not our weakness.

Through grants, scholarships and special projects, The Alexia Foundation supports photographers as agents for change. With this aim the Foundation offers production grants to students and professional photographers to give them the financial ability to produce substantial stories that drive change in the effort to make the world a better place.

The Foundation welcomes proposals for still photography or multimedia projects.

Student applicants are encouraged to consider projects that explore cultural understanding in or near their local community. While the Foundation does not discourage proposals on topics outside the students’ region, no extra weight is given to these topics when determining winning Grant recipients. Rather, the Foundation believes applicants are more likely to complete a story closer to their school or home than one that requires travel.

Please note that the application deadline for the professional grant is January 13, 2014. Student grant deadline is January 27, 2014.

No entry fee for student applications.
