The GLObal Correspondent photography grant is open to all babyÖ±²¥app undergraduate students who have confirmed their participation in any babyÖ±²¥app, Exchange, GESI, or Affiliated program.*

Grant recipients must be able to supply their own photography equipment (access to photo editing software upon return from babyÖ±²¥app abroad experience recommended, but not required). Many smartphones have cameras that are adequate for this grant.

Recipients will be expected to take photo content that captures academic and cultural experiences in the country where they are babyÖ±²¥apping abroad (i.e. cultural immersive experiences, experience of babyÖ±²¥apping at their host university, field trips and outings, etc.).

Note that photo content featuring alcohol consumption or any activities excluded from GeoBlue health insurance coverage will not be accepted.

*Consideration for the grant is contingent upon the student being accepted into the babyÖ±²¥app program or exchange to which they applied. As noted above, Journalism Residency Programs Abroad, Semester in Qatar, and Unaffiliated Programs are not eligible.

To be considered for the grant, students should submit five (5) original photos on any topic; photos may be edited. Photos may be samples from coursework or the student’s work portfolio, or taken primarily for the purpose of this grant.

The time commitment for this project is estimated at 15 hours, which includes the time spent taking photographs while abroad as well as organizing photos into categories, adding captions and credits, and editing photographs. Grant recipients are expected to turn in their final project approximately 4 weeks after the program ends.

The grant will be disbursed upon the student’s return, following Global Learning Office approval of the photography content supplied.
