Forensic Fun in the Summer Sun!
The Summer Workshop Scholarship Program enables NFL coaches to receive training from the nation’s top coaches. Scholarships are available for all areas of forensics including speech events, debate, and Student Congress.
The Summer Workshop Scholarship Program allows NFL coaches to receive training and gain knowledge on coaching speech and debate from the nation’s top instructors. Through this program the NFL will organize scholarships to member coaches who would like to attend a summer teacher education program but can not afford the entire cost of tuition, room and board.
Scholarships will be available for all areas of forensic education, including all speech events, Policy Debate, Public Forum Debate, Lincoln-Douglas Debate, and Student Congress. Scholarship options range from a full scholarship (which pays tuition, fees, room and board) to a variety of partial scholarships (tuition only or partial tuition). All scholarship recipients are required to provide their own transportation costs and any amenities that the institute does not provide. Additionally, each recipient is required to type a 500 word document to the NFL expressing what they learned from their attendance and general details about their experience.
Institutes participating from states across the country participated in 2008, including: California, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington.
