Forensics Scholarship Application

Puget Sound Forensics Scholarships are based on academic and forensics achievement. Awards for incoming students usually are $1,000 to $3,000, renewable for three years based on satisfactory participation in the forensics program and maintenance of a 3.0 grade point average. Since Puget Sound’s program focuses on debate, experience in high school debate that emphasizes research is preferred with particular emphasis in C-X/Policy and Lincoln-Douglas formats.
