The Alexia Foundation offers help to provide the financial ability for students to improve their knowledge and skills of photojournalism and to increase their own knowledge and understanding of other cultures. Note the student category of the Alexia Foundation’s annual photography grant competition, and to invite you to consider participating.

The Alexia Foundation sponsors this competition to help fund the work of professional and student photographers who want to produce a body of work that contributes to world peace, social justice, and cross-cultural understanding. In today’s world, this type of photography takes on a certain urgency and resonance. We believe our competition helps support the work of documentary journalism to create positive social change and address many of the world's urgent problems.
