The Texas Debate Collective (TDC) is a non-profit organization and student organization at the University of Texas at Austin. Created in 2009, the non-profit and student organizations were designed to improve the educational opportunities of low-income students in Texas. To that end, we are proud to announce the first annual TDC subsidized winter seminar. As long as our enrollment permits, we welcome any student in need of financial assistance who wants to attend. At least 30 students will be subsidized by the Collective!
Our goals are two fold: first, to offer the benefits of an expensive, intellectually rigorous topic preparation to students who otherwise couldn’t afford to attend. Second, we hope to undermine ongoing segregation between the debate circuits in Texas, by fostering attitudes of mutual respect and friendship between students competing in different areas and competitive circuits.
