LIFETIME SKILLS
Today, it’s more crucial than ever that teens develop the skills to speak in front of an audience as well as learn to think critically, explore all sides of an issue and formulate evidence-based points of view.
Beyond the improvements in their academic performance that prepare them to excel in college, speech and debate students change in ways that influence every aspect of their lives. It gives them the social and academic confidence they need to grow as individuals, achieve educational goals, pursue meaningful work, and improve the lives of others — and our world.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Debate scholarships are offered by several universities, colleges, and schools. While some offer university scholarships to winning debaters, many others offer speech scholarship programs to debate team members who have shown significant academic achievements. There are also others that award debate scholarships for debate participants. Scholorships include:
-
