Scholarships Available for Imaging USA!
Published: August 01, 2024
PPA recognizes the dedication you put into continuing your education as a professional photographer. Each year, we like to give back to our hard-working members by providing four lucky individuals with an all-access pass to Imaging USA 2024, held February 2-4, 2025, in Dallas, Texas, through the annual Kickstart Scholarship.
Photographers return to Imaging USA year after year to attend the nation's best photography conference and incredible photo expo. Featuring more than 90 speakers, extensive networking opportunities, exciting celebrations, the International Photographic Competition, and a huge exhibition hall, Imaging USA attracts thousands of photographers annually, making it the largest gathering of its kind. Attendees participate in classes led by industry experts and tap into a vast network of like-minded professional photographers. The photo expo boasts an impressive 130+ exhibitors eager to showcase the latest products, services, and gear in the photography industry, with big discounts available on the expo floor.
PPA will be giving away four full scholarships for Imaging USA, which includes an All-Access pass to the conference as well as a free pre-conference class. Pre-conference classes take place from January 30 through February 1 in the days leadng up to the main conference and offer an in-depth learning experience in an intimate class setting. Pre-cons are basically the extra learning boost you're craving before Imaging USA officially begins. You'll start the show right, already with new knowledge and skills under your belt.
To be eligible for the Kickstart Scholarship photographers must:
- Be a full or part-time photographer, an active member of PPA (any membership type)
- Have not previously received a scholarship from PPA
- Submit their application by September 16 , 2024, 5pm EST
The four recipients will be notified on October 1, 2024, at which point they will have 5 business days to accept their scholarship. All confirmed recipients will be announced on social media and theLoop on October 15, 2024.
"The PPA Kickstart Scholarship is a great opportunity to give back to our members," said Gerard Wright-Bullard, PPA's Director of Member Value and Experience. "We're always looking for new ways to assist photographers and move the industry forward... after all, that’s the reason we exist! What better way to do that than to foot the bill and help a few photographers attend Imaging USA?"
