You can choose from three units, Public Forum, Policy, and Lincoln-Douglas, and expand things further with links to webinars, handouts, and extended materials. Rostrum Magazine » Member schools receive a free subscription to our magazine, Rostrum, which includes team profiles, school recognition, community updates, and news from the world of speech and debate.

Foreign Affairs Magazine » NSDA member schools are now eligible to claim 3 months of free site license access from Foreign Affairs Magazine. A site license to Foreign Affairs unlocks almost a century of expert writing on foreign policy that is unavailable anywhere else—just ask your school’s librarian or administrator to complete this form and mention NSDA in the message to redeem this offer. Subscriptions will begin within two weeks of receipt of the request. Thanks to our International Extemp sponsor, the Council on Foreign Relations, for this new resource! Fundraising with Edco » Edco provides an online fundraising software platform for K-12 schools that empowers teachers and students to raise money from family, friends, and other members of their community. Through our partnership with Edco, NSDA teams have raised more than $260,000 in donations. Visit Edco’s website to get started or check out our fundraising guide and strategies here for more helpful tips! HeinOnline » HeinOnline is an outstanding research product normally only available to law students and legal professionals. HeinOnline has more than 156 million pages of legal history available in a fully searchable database. Access to the database is free for NSDA members. Big Questions » In this debate format, students grapple with complex worldview questions as they debate both sides of the 2018-2019 resolution, Resolved: Humans are primarily driven by self-interest. As a member, you have the opportunity to earn money for your team by hosting a Big Questions event. These debates can be held at a tournament, with your team, or in your classroom. The NSDA awarded close to one million dollars in the first two years of the program and has $500,000 to award in Year 3.
