With 1200 students in Fine Arts, Design as well as Aesthetics & Art History and Media Studies, the Braunschweig University of Art is one of the largest art academies in Europe.
Excellently equipped studios and laboratories provide the ideal working conditions for all intellectual, creative and artistic processes.

Dorothea-Erxleben-Programme for the Promotion of Equal Opportunities

Two (2) grants for female artists with the focus on Painting
One (1) grant for female artists with the focus on Sculpture

These scholarships are part of the university's programmes for the promotion of young artistic talents. The involvement of the scholars in the HBK's teaching and research activities is an essential component of the university's programmes for the promotion of young talents. The project to be proposed by the applicant must constitute a material contribution to the ongoing development of the means of artistic expression.

No grant will be paid if, during the scholarship term, the applicant receives regular benefits from any third party (e.g. residency or work grants) or grants paid by the Federal State.

Upon completion of the scholarship term, the applicant will have to present his/her artistic project within the scope of an exhibition or performance or in any other equivalent way.

The deadline to apply for one of the NPPF $2,000 scholarships is April 15, 2013.

To qualify, students must be enrolled in school during the next fall term to receive a scholarship. Both graduate and undergraduate students may apply.
NPPF scholarships are awarded to encourage those with talent and dedication to photojournalism who need financial help to continue their studies. The awards are directed to students who are studying full-time or who are returning to college.
The Bob East, Reid Blackburn, Bob Baxter, Kit C. King, and Jimi Lott scholarships are endowed by donations from friends, family and news organizations.
The G. Gordon Yoder Television News Workshop Grant was funded by a gift from television news pioneer and former NPPF board member G. Gordon Yoder.
NPPF provides funding for the NPPF Still and Multimedia Scholarship, the NPPF TV News Scholarship, and the College Photographer of the Year International awards through donations from NPPA members. The NPPF Booster Club, made up of NPPA Life members, has provided significant funding over the years.
