The Michigan Debate Institutes offer two types of financial aid. First we support a general scholarship fund which offers tuition waivers of various amounts to students on the basis of financial need. The award amounts vary from year to year, but they generally range from $100 to $500. Given the number of applicants for these scholarships, in the past few years we have been unable to help applicants with family income above $40,000.
To apply for financial aid from
the Michigan Debate Institutes you must provide a thorough explanation
of your unique financial need. Include as much supporting material
as feasible. Your application must include copies of your 1998
and 1999 Federal 1040 and W-2 Tax Forms. Scholarship availability
varies from year to year and is based strictly on relative financial need.
Deadlines
The application deadline to apply for financial aid for the MNDI and Lincoln Douglas institutes is May 26. Awards will be announced by June 7. The application deadline to apply for financial aid for the Classic and Seven Week Labs is April 28 with announcements made by May 10.
