Nikon Scholarship Program 2026-27
The Nikon Scholarship Program 2026-27 is an initiative by Nikon India Private Limited, designed to support aspiring photographers who carry a passion for photography but face financial barriers on the path to professional training. The scholarship is open for Indian students who have passed Class 12 and are currently pursuing a professional photography-related course of at least three months’ duration. In a world increasingly shaped by the power of visual storytelling, this Program ensures that talent, not income, determines who gets to learn, create, and lead.
Through this scholarship, Nikon India supports eligible students by offering financial assistance of up to INR 1,00,000 to help them pursue their craft with confidence. Whether a student is learning the fundamentals of composition, mastering advanced techniques, or developing their own distinctive photographic voice, the Nikon Scholarship Program 2026-27 stands behind them with meaningful support.
