The Debate Scholarship

Each year, Carthage offers a number of debate scholarships of up to full tuition, renewable for a total of four years. These scholarships may be awarded in addition to other merit awards for which a student is eligible, not to exceed full tuition. They are renewable based on participation in debate, strong academic standing and satisfactory academic progress toward graduation.

Recipients are selected by the director of debate by application and additional evaluation. All aspects of the application must be completed by March 1, 2009.

The Carthage commitment to scholars extends beyond the Debate Scholarships. Top students typically receive a substantial package of multiple no need awards, ranging from $5,000 to full tuition. Many qualify for additional need-based assistance, making Carthage quite affordable.

You must submit your application for admission and supporting materials to Carthage to be eligible for the Debate Scholarship.
