Daniels Photography Travel Award

Get paid* to explore your faculty-led off-campus program using photography or video.

Who Qualifies

This award is open to any Whitworth students who are applying for a Whitworth faculty-led off-campus Jan/May Term or semester-long course for the following academic year. Awards will only be granted to students who are accepted and attend an off-campus program. Financial need will be considered.

Criteria for Jurying

We will be assessing your photos with the following in mind:

  • Content: Is the subject/message/story clear?
  • Is the image well composed?
  • Is it technically good (focus, exposure, lighting, etc.)?
  • Is your approach creative?

Recipients

Students will be required to explore their study abroad experience through photography or video, keeping in mind the criteria above. We may ask that they post to Instagram during the trip. The minimum award of $500 will be given as a stipend* on their return after the student submits a written statement about their trip along with 10-12 photographs with captions or a short video for a virtual or in-person exhibition; format of exhibition to be decided by the committee. Any amount awarded above the minimum $500 award may be awarded as a scholarship or stipend*. The decision to award as a scholarship or a stipend* will depend on the student’s financial aid package.

*Stipends are classified as income and will be taxed.
