PPGBA honors and recognizes the founders of this association, one of the largest local chapters of the Professional Photographers of America through a scholarship program. This scholarship is designed to help the recipient stay current with new styles and trends in photography. Any photographer may apply for the scholarship. The scholarship is awarded based on financial need and the applicant's record of service to the photographic profession as demonstrated by active participation in local and state associations. The scholarship includes tuition to any course at the upcoming Golden Gate School but does not include room and board. Application deadline is April 10. For an application, please contact GGS.
