PhotoLounge has built the University Program as a way to give back to the community and support university students and faculty. This program offers all students and faculty a free annual membership to the Film Photography Club. The club organizes member shows throughout the year, and it provides substantial everyday discounts on film processing, printing, and supplies like film. Students who are enrolled in this program are also eligible to participate in our annual University Student Show. The show gives students the opportunity for their work to be seen by the community and also gives them a chance to receive PhotoLounge's Student Award in memory of Jerry Brown. The award is given to the three top entries from the Student Show. The winners receive gift cards for processing and printing at PhotoLounge valued at $500, $400, and $300 respectively.

University Program members range from occasional users to photographers who process film in bulk. You do not need to be a studio art or photography major to sign up.
