NEW: 2025 Scholarship Model

Dear Students and Families,

Since 2021, Youth Debate Academy has been honored to provide our online and in-person programs completely free of charge. Over the past four years, we have trained over 1,100 students, and it has been truly inspiring to witness each of them grow as speakers and leaders.

We are immensely grateful to our community and corporate donors, whose generosity continues to make our programs possible.

Starting in summer 2025, we will be transitioning to a need-based scholarship model. Low-income students and students from underrepresented communities will have the opportunity to qualify for full scholarships. This change is designed to ensure the longevity and sustainability of our academy while holding true to our core values of diversity and accessibility.

Thank you for being a part of our community. We look forward to continuine this journey together!

Sincerely,

The Youth Debate Academy Team
