The James Alan Cox Foundation for Student Photojournalists is a non-profit organization that provides scholarships and grants to support the education and professional development of student photojournalists. The foundation was established in memory of James Alan Cox, a photojournalist who died while on assignment in 1988.
The foundation offers several scholarships to support the education and training of student photojournalists, including the James Alan Cox Foundation for Student Photojournalists Scholarship, which provides $2,500 to a student photojournalist enrolled in a college or university in the United States. The foundation also offers a High School Photography Grant, which provides up to $1,500 to support photography programs at high schools throughout the United States.
Applicants for the High School Photography Grant must be teachers or administrators at a high school in the United States and must demonstrate a need for funding to support their photography program.
