Imagining America is now accepting applications for 2014-2015 JGS Fellows

Are you a photography or digital media student engaging in community?

Are you looking for an opportunity to collaborate with peers and mentors as part of a national network?

Thanks to a generous grant from Joy of Giving Something, Inc. (JGS), Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life invites publicly engaged students of photography or digital media from our member institutions to apply for a tuition award and to join a national working group of students. The goal of the IA/JGS Fellows program is to elevate photography and digital media as a pathway for students to pursue their careers and make a difference in their communities.

To be considered, we ask applicants to contribute three work samples, write an essay, and have a faculty or staff member e-mail a letter of recommendation with information about the student’s financial need to Imagining America. The submission deadline is May 16th. Only one award will be given per school.

The 2014-15 JGS Fellows will receive tuition scholarships of $2,000 each and will commit to engaging in a yearlong learning exchange that will result in a collaborative media project. Fellows will be invited to participate in the 2014 Imagining America National Conference, October 9-11, in Atlanta, Georgia.
