NSDA Membership Assistance Application

The NSDA offers membership assistance to help support under-resourced schools, schools experiencing hardship, and programs working to grow speech and debate opportunities for students. Assistance may include partial discounts on annual school membership dues or, for qualifying new schools, the full $349 school membership through the Pay It Forward Grant. The Pay It Forward Grant is made possible through the generosity of speech and debate alumni from Apple Valley High School (MN) and Joe and Pam Wycoff through the Pay It Forward Fund. Schools may use this form to apply for either Pay It Forward funding or other forms of NSDA membership assistance.
