PSA Scholarship Program
The first PSA scholarship was awarded to A.K. Mehta of New Delhi, India in 1954. In 1957, PSA collaborated with the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to award the PSA-RIT Scholarships to beginning RIT photography students. In 1972 PSA established a similar relationship with the Art Center College of Design (Pasadena, CA) to award scholarships to students who were completing their senior year. In 1977, PSA worked in partnership with Brooks Institute (Santa Barbara, CA) to assist students attending the institute to continue their studies.

The Photographic Society of America annually awards scholarships to promising college or university students who are pursing a degree in photography at the University of Central Oklahoma. The Committee, composed of five PSA members, works in collaboration with the University of Central Oklahoma Giving Foundation. UCO selects ten applicants for consideration by the Committee which then awards four scholarships. The selected students have an opportunity to participate in the annual PSA Photo Festival where their work is on display.

Each year PSA’s Greenhood Scholarships Committee decides the number of scholarships and the award amounts, determines the application parameters, evaluates the applications and the accompanying portfolios of the finalists, and selects the scholarship recipients in August.
