Nature Photographers Network exists to support thoughtful growth, honest critique, and meaningful creative connection. We believe access to this kind of space matters.
Our Scholarship Program is designed to help photographers who genuinely want to participate in NPN but are unable to do so due to financial constraints.
This program is limited and intentional. It is not a discount program, and it is not guaranteed.
Approved applicants receive:
Full access to NPN membership
The same experience, privileges, and expectations as any other member
Scholarships are typically granted for a fixed period of time, after which continued access may require a paid membership or reapplication.
The scholarship program is intended for photographers who:
Value critique, discussion, and long-term growth
Intend to participate respectfully and thoughtfully in the community
Are currently unable to afford membership due to financial circumstances
We prioritize applicants who demonstrate engagement, intention, and alignment with the spirit of NPN.
To keep expectations clear:
This is not a free trial extension
This is not a substitute for paid membership when cost is not a barrier
This is not automatically granted upon request
We ask applicants to apply honestly and thoughtfully.
If you believe this program is a good fit for you, you’re welcome to apply using the form below.
Applications are reviewed periodically. Due to the small size of our team, we may not be able to respond immediately or provide individual feedback on all applications.
NPN is a small, independently run platform. Memberships directly support:
Community moderation and support
Platform costs and development
Educational programming and editorial work
If you’re able to support NPN through a paid membership, that is always the best way to help sustain the community.
