As part of UNCF’s 80th anniversary celebration, UNCF announces its inaugural photography contest and scholarship: “Capture the Culture: UNCF 80th Anniversary Photo Contest.”

In celebration of UNCF’s remarkable legacy and the unique experiences at each HBCU, this contest invites students to capture and share the spirit, beauty, and pride of HBCU life through photography.

The competition will award six $10,000 scholarships across several categories, to students who use their talent to “capture the culture” and showcase different aspects of HBCU life through original photographic submissions.

UNCF will use the student submissions in their efforts to tell the story of HBCUs online, on the website, in print materials and other marketing pieces.

Scholarships Details: Each year, UNCF will award three scholarships in the fall and three scholarships in the spring. A total of six scholarships will be awarded, at $10,000 each.
