The Minnesota Debate Teachers Association (“MDTA”) is offering grants for the financial support of high school debate programs in Minnesota. MDTA anticipates offering grants of approximately $1500 each for the 2024-2025 school year.
MDTA will take numerous factors into consideration in selecting grant recipients. Preference will be given to schools that commit some of their own resources to support the team and do not rely solely on the grant. Preference will also be given to new programs, to programs with new coaches, and to programs that face other challenges to their existence and operations. MDTA may conduct interviews of applicant coaches and administrators.
