The Stanford Debate Society is a student-run program with a sizeable endowment each year for expenses, which covers all tournament costs, including traveling. In years past the Stanford Debate team has had a very successful program, including clearing one of the only all-freshman teams at the National Debate Tournament. The Stanford Debate Team is actively working to recruit top-quality high school competitors who wish to further their policy debate career at the NDT/CEDA level as well as new students interested in learning policy debate. The Stanford Debate Society presently travels to parliamentary tournaments on both the east and west coast. In past years the Stanford Debate Team has traveled to all of the major NDT tournaments. If there is student interest in policy debate, it is likely the student-board will vote to renew sufficient funding for a top-level NDT/CEDA program. These negotiations are already taking place.

The Claremont Consortium offers a unique model for American higher education. Officially born on October 14, 1925, the cluster of independent and cooperative colleges, generally based on the design of Oxford University, is an alliance that is now widely recognized as one of the nation’s greatest centers of liberal arts education. Seven educational institutions now constitute The Claremont Colleges: Pomona College, founded in 1887; Claremont Graduate University, 1925; Scripps College, 1926: Claremont McKenna College, 1946; Harvey Mudd College, 1955; Pitzer College, 1963; and the Keck Graduate Institute for Applied Life Sciences, 1997. Student enrollment for the consortium is more than 5400 full-time students. Each year, students take roughly 6000 courses at a campus other than their home campus-about 16 percent of the total courses offered. This cross-registration is one of the Consortium’s most remarkable qualities. Students literally get seven colleges for the price of one and an array of course offerings found only in the most select universities. The Claremont Colleges are now nationally and internationally renowned for excellence. Several of the Colleges are consistently rated among the very best in the nation. This has helped draw students from across the country and around the world.

Pace University is a diverse institution with nearly 14,000 students. For 92 years, bright, motivated and talented men and women have walked out of Pace’s many doors, degrees in hand and have ventured into the world prepared for the challenges of each passing decade. Every year curriculum offerings in the schools and colleges are modified to meet the changing needs of ambitious and knowledgeable students. Pace University draws its strength from being a unified institution that offers students a choice of three locations, each with its own distinctive atmosphere, ranging from the quintessential urban (New York City) to small city (White Plains) to suburban/ rural (Pleasantville/Briarcliff). The New York City campus, located in the heart of the civic and financial center of the city, is impressive not only in its physical attributes, but as an intellectual and cultural focal point for one of New York City’s most dynamic and revitalized areas.

The academic performance of Pittsburgh debaters has consistently reflected the University’s overall commitment to excellence.

The William Pitt Debating Union is a student organization involved in a wide range of debating activities, including two-person intercollegiate policy debate, international parliamentary debate, and various forms of public debate. One of the oldest organizations of its kind in the nation, the Union is directly affiliated with the Department of Communication at the University of Pittsburgh. The bedrock philosophy of the William Pitt Debating Union is that argument can educate as well as emancipate. By providing for students a forum to sharpen their critical thinking skills, deepen their understanding of contemporary political issues, and hone their abilities as actors in the public realm, the Union actualizes its educational mission. By spurring robust, inclusive debate and discussion in the public community, the Union performs its politically emancipatory function, serving as a catalyst for reasoned public dialogue on key issues facing society. Much of the Union’s energy in pursuing these tasks comes from a team culture which places a premium on group solidarity and cooperation. Such cooperation is vital to cultivation of a pedagogically rich learning environment, competitive success in intercollegiate contests, and to political mobilization in defense of open public argument. In their activities, members of the Union are expected not only to contribute in a dynamic and cooperative way to these goals, but to consistently meet the highest standards of integrity in research, teamwork and advocacy.
Substantial debate scholarships are available to students who qualify for merit-based scholarships through the general financial aid process.

The LDU is an endowed, co-curricular program at the University of Vermont. It is directed by the Lawrence Professor of Forensics and coaches hired by the University. Members of the LDU are UVM students enrolled in at least six hours of undergraduate study per semester and who are working toward a Bachelor’s degree. Members are expected to attend meetings, participate meaningfully in one of the three LDU areas of emphasis, provide information to the coaching staff about academic schedules and standing, and follow through on voluntary verbal commitments. Nobody is required to volunteer to do anything, but volunteers are expected to follow through on their commitments. The coaching staff is composed of debate experts who teach debate, explore issues, and coach students to win in competition and in life. They are overworked and underpaid. Be nice to them. The primary budget for the LDU is the income generated each year by the Lawrence Fund to Encourage and Develop Debating. It is our generous bequest from Mr. Lawrence, and as such, the LDU is responsible for the highest standards of good stewardship. It may or may not be completely spent in any given year, and unspent funds are rolled forward to the next year. The LDU is also sponsored by the Student Association. A small sum of money each year is used to promote on*campus debates to educate and entertain the University community. For these purposes, the LDU elects a student as S.A. Coordinator each year, and these funds are spent as directed by the S.A. The major focus of the LDU is to teach students how to debate. Students learn to debate by debating. The coaches develop a lecture/discussion series which teaches debate fundamentals. Students give practice debate speeches and then move into practice debates. Students debate as two*person teams. Before these practice sessions become substantive, students need to learn about the issues being debated, partially through library research and partially through discussion, review of arguments prepared by others, and briefing sessions. Students need to take initiative in signing up for practice sessions. If you can’t make a practice session, inform the coach involved immediately and follow his/her instructions.

Trinity University is a relatively small, private, liberal arts and sciences institution (plus professional programs including engineering science, business administration, education, and communication) located in San Antonio, Texas. We currently enroll approximately 2500 students, about 2300 of whom are undergraduates. Our mission is simple: We provide superior educational and research opportunities in the tradition of the liberal arts and sciences to a highly select and diverse group of motivated and well- rounded students. Not only do you get one of the best available educational opportunities in your field, but you also gain knowledge of a wide variety of subjects outside of your major. Our campus and physical facilities serve an important role in maintaining our mission. Cited as one of Texas’ most interesting architectural sites, Trinity’s campus, with its lush greenery and winding paths, provides one of the most beautiful campuses in the nation. Despite the residential setting of its 117 acres, Trinity is only five minutes away from the historic downtown of San Antonio, the tenth largest city in the United States. Few other schools in the country offer the kinds of opportunities to undergraduates routinely found at Trinity. With a student-faculty ratio of 10.5 to1, an average class size of 20, and an endowment of approximately $540 million, Trinity offers you the individual attention you expect from smaller schools coupled with the resources typical of a much larger institution.

Trinity University is pleased to offer a competitive program open to anyone interested in participating in intercollegiate debate. While prior high school policy debate experience is beneficial, numerous Trinity students with no previous debate background or exclusive involvement in Lincoln-Douglas debate have achieved significant and continuing success. In an effort to accommodate the needs of squad members, the debate program offers great flexibility in tournament and travel scheduling. In recent years, our senior teams have reached the elimination rounds and won speaker awards at numerous and diverse tournaments across the country, including Baylor, James Madison, Kansas, Liberty, Navy, Nevada - Las Vegas, Emporia, North Carolina, Northwestern, Redlands, Southern California, and the National Debate Tournament. In junior varsity, at one time or another, we have won or been in the final round of every tournament we have entered. In1994, a freshman team at Trinity won the junior varsity division of the American Debate Association National Tournament, and in 1997, another team was in the final round and earned the top two speaker awards. The squad is looking forward to continuing success at all levels in the upcoming seasons.
Over 70% of Trinity students have some type of financial aid, whether it be need-based, merit-based, or a combination of both. Trinity recognizes scholastic achievement through a variety of academic scholarships. The first scholarship is the President’s Scholarship. This award ranges from $2,000 to $5,000 and is renewable for up to four years. To be considered for a President’s Scholarship at Trinity, you must have a combined SAT I score of 1300 or a combined ACT score of 29 or better. As long as your grades are consistent with scores of that caliber, your chances of receiving a scholarship at Trinity are excellent. The National Merit/Trustee’s Scholarship is awarded to National Merit Finalists who indicate Trinity as their first-choice school. This award is for $6,000 per year, over and above any money awarded through the National Merit program. Finally, Trinity’s most competitive award is the Murchison Scholarship. Around 20 Murchison Scholarships are awarded each year at $10,000 per year. Typically, Murchison Scholars have test scores in the mid- to upper-1400s on the SAT I or above a 32 on the ACT and a median GPA near 4.0. All scholarships are renewable for up to four years as long as the student maintains at least a 3.25 GPA.

The University of Missouri-St. Louis is a relatively new Urban university. Established in 1963 on the site a golf course operated by the old Bellerive Country Club, it has grown from one building (the clubhouse of the old country club) and an outdoor swimming school to a multiblock complex of both modern and purchased, older buildings. Over 15,000 FTE students attend UM-St. Louis, and the Continuing Education and Outreach Program attracts many more. Its initial mission was to provide an opportunity for a college education to those who could not afford to leave St. Louis in order to attain one. That mission has expanded to include students throughout Missouri and the nation, as has its research mission. It is located in North St. Louis County, near Lambert International Airport. The St. Louis light rail system, the Metrolink, connects the campus with both the Airport and Downtown, and soon will be expanded into eastern Illinois. Although the student population is largely commuter, three dormitories and an apartment complex operated by a private company in conjunction with the University, University Meadows, have expanded the student body to include out of state and international students. UM-St. Louis has the largest African American student body population of any institution of higher learning in the state of Missouri. The Forensics and Debate Club, although housed in the Communication Department (400 majors), is funded both privately (82 percent in 98-99) and through student activity fees (18 per cent). Political Science and Optometry house the school’s most noted graduate programs, and the school participates in NCAA Division II athletics, with the most noted programs being men’s soccer and baseball.

The UM-St. Louis Forensics and Debate program seeks to provide as many opportunities to as many sorts of students as possible in a diverse, urban setting. Membership ranges from those who assist at home tournaments and summer outreach activities, to those who compete on the national level in forensics activities. Teaching, Research, and Service constitute the major dimensions of the program, reflective of its location within an urban research university. The program is committed to being responsive to the students who show the desire to compete—“we reward commitment with commitment” (our original motto) and “learning is winning” (as quoted from Dr. Sheryl Friedley at George Mason) guide the program’s pedagogy. Each student sets his or her own goals, and if the student is willing to put forth the effort in addition to stating the desire, the program will do everything possible to obtain resources to enable each student to meet his or her own goals. The program serves as a research laboratory for the impact of forensics participation on its students, as well as how well forensics activities trains students for the post graduate analogs for each event. Service both to the local community in the form of the Urban Debate League-St. Louis, the Advanced Credit Program, and the Gateway Mock Trial Institute, as well as the local forensics community in the form of the Gateway and co-hosted Study Break Tournament (with Webster) constitutes a major element of the UM-St. Louis program. Each year, the students choose what events to do. The program offers from local to national level in all of the AFA individual speaking events, policy (CEDA/NDT joint) debate, and parliamentary debate. Sporadic local competition is available in International Public Debate and National Forensic Association Lincoln-Douglas Debate.
Scholarships are available and given on a one-year at a time basis, pending fundraising. The amounts available will vary from year to year, and are promised on the condition funds are available to cover them—thus far, every commitment has been fulfilled. Currently, there are five students on forensics scholarships, which are worth $750.00 per semester credits to the student’s educational fees (tuition). These scholarships are renewable based on exemplary performance, but not endowed—thus, the funds must be raised privately from year to year. The Honors College will waive out-of-state tuition for those from out of state, and will sometimes supplement the forensics scholarships for honors college students who debate. Students eligible for work-study may earn work-study stipends, and those working with UDL-St. Louis may earn stipends in addition to the competitive forensics scholarships. Although there are no “full-ride”, endowed scholarships, students have been able to put together full-ride equivalents through the above means. Although students have received scholarships out of high school, the program stresses its walk-on dimension and stresses the earning of scholarships though performance at UM-St. Louis.

We travel two to four teams on a regular basis. We welcome and train novices. Our procedure is egalitarian and inclusive. Our debaters range widely in chosen areas of study. We like one another, and we work for the overall team health, emphasizing a cooperative, educational environment before the competitive ethic. The two can work together succesfully.
We have only one scholarship for $1,000 per semester-we sometimes split that. We provide help for students in connecting with financial aid and outside scholarships. This summer we are initiating a scholarship drive; so, the future looks promising.

The Webster forensics program is intended to be multi-tiered, providing for several backgrounds, experience levels, and goals to be represented in its membership. In general, we believe that forensics activities are intended as laboratory experiences that educate students in oral communication, argumentation and advocacy, and related skills. While educational outcomes are paramount, competitive success is also a goal of this program. The notion that “learning is winning” serves as the foundation for the instruction given and activities in which the program participates. As the means through which its purposes are fulfilled, the following are goals of the program: multi-tiered levels of competition to accommodate various levels of experience tournament travel schedules that allow for both regional and national exposure and successes a broad-based program that encourages participation in all facets of forensics activities retention of program members from year to year service to the Webster campus in the form of participation in campus events, audience performance programs, educational services, and on-going public relations efforts service to the forensics community, high school and collegiate, in the form of tournament hosting, scholarly activity, activity in regional/national organizations, and administrative assistance for area high schools the continued good academic standing and forward progress toward graduation of students in the program.

Founded in 1849 Jewell is a private, liberal arts, undergraduate only institution, with around 1150 students.
Policy Debate
http://www.jewell.edu/academia/departments/communication/
The activity of debate is a unique opportunity for students to exert personal control over their intellectual development. A successful debater is one that can think for themselves and still be part of a greater community of peers and relate to the ideas of those who challenge them. As part of developing this attribute, the program at Jewell will provide opportunities for students to make meaningful choices regarding their participation and competitive directions. These decisions involve colleague choice, argument choice, and schedule of tournaments. The role of the coaches is to provide counsel and direction for students, and to use their experience to help guide an effective and thoughtful choice. As officers of the College, and holding responsibility for the financial management of the teams resources, coaches will represent the interests of ethical behavior, personal responsibility, and access to privileges based on merit of effort. The goal is to build a community of consensus for intra-squad decisions and allow student input and participatory practices in squad decision making. The debate squad at William Jewell College will strive to provide the best educational, competitive, and intellectual experience possible to all students of the campus. This experience will be based on participation at tournaments and in the campus preparation for those tournaments involving education in debate practices and theory along with individual coaching. An emphasis on the skills of critical thinking, independent analysis and personal advocacy will be stressed. The goal is to train persons not only to be competitively successful nationally, but are prepared to use their skills after graduation to be effective in their careers and in the society of which they are a part.
Scholarships are available for participation on the debate squad. Eligibility is based on need, academic standing, and potential. We are looking for students with a commitment to future success, not just those that have already shined the brightest. The philosophy of the program toward scholarships is to work within the college guidelines and provide the maximum available to any individual based on the formula used to determine the students “cell.” This is a calculation based the academic ability of the student. Once the college has determined the student’s position and standing for eligibility of aid, the debate program will request that the maximum financial assistance package will be made available to the student using a debate scholarship to “max out” what the student is eligible for. This usually amounts to $1,000 to $2,000. It does vary, and some students with high academic credentials may already be “maxed out” by the college’s calculations, and not eligible for further aid. To students without scholarship availability, for whatever reasons, the team does have a number of work study positions available for students to earn extra income while on campus. These jobs are usually directly connected to debate related activities, and are flexible in schedule to accommodate student availability. While the initial costs of Jewell might look high, the college does make every effort to assist worthy students. When one looks at overall costs related to four years of college, the difference between Jewell and other choices really begins to narrow, and in many ways is a better value. Education is a lifetime investment, and a degree from WJC will be a value over the long haul. It is a chance to attend a private liberal arts college and to take advantage of a personalized education that is intense and meaningful. Interested students should directly contact the coaching staff for a scholarship application form.

NIU Forensics is devoted to providing opportunities for students in three specific areas: (1) competitive intercollegiate debate, (2) individual events, and (3) public debate. At NIU Forensic activities are conducted within one student organization that enjoys additional support from the Department of Communication. The department provides the resources for a coaching staff of three faculty members and four graduate assistants. Therefore, NIU Forensics remains grounded in the rich traditions of student power and advocacy and the combined knowledge of highly-skilled experts in the field of argumentation and speech. Most importantly, absolutely no experience is necessary to join our organization. For most who join the activity, a regular schedule of regional tournaments provides continuous competition from which students develop and eventually master their skills. This is the nature of forensics, continuous exposure to competitive speaking settings, between which students improve and revise their performance based on criticism and strategic planning. These tournaments involve travel to other universities throughout the Midwest, and occasionally sites beyond our region. Because NIU Forensics is an interdisciplinary student organization, it receives funding from the NIU Student Association that makes it possible to cover all cost associated with travel. Student who make NIU Forensics a part of their college experience often report that it is the activity that most significantly prepared them for the future, as well as provided friendship and professional mentorship.
NIU Forensics may provide students tuition waivers for half or all of their in-state tuition. Student apply each semester and applications are reviewed by the coaching staff. Those considering transferring to NIU, who wish to receive a full or partial tuition waiver are encouraged to contact Dr. Butler as soon as possible.

Methodist debate has always focused on the application of debate theory. While this is best practiced in competition, the program focuses on other practical applications of debate skills such as research and public speaking. With a small team, each student can dictate how involved they wish to be and thus how competitive. With this atmosphere, hands on coaching occurs throughout the year. Traditionally, this leads to a larger novice oriented squad, but also one that does well in that division.

The ULDS provides a “home place” for
students to integrate into an activity historically dominated by those with
privilege. The ULDS encourages
participation by African American students, and as many other under-represented
communities as possible. Creates awareness through argument selection that
African Americans, and other under-represented groups, impact any debate in
real and tangible ways. Creates awareness through challenging current
stylistic conventions, traditions, and norms that
suggest debate may be exclusive.
Creates linkages with other groups through participation and argument
selection. Demonstrates “Excellence
through Diversity” at local, regional,

outreach for the Jefferson County Debate League (JCDL) through the Wilson Wyatt
