The 2023-2024 application cycle will open October 1, 2023, and all applications must be submitted by June 1, 2024. The winner of the scholarship will be notified by July 1, 2024, and the award will be disbursed as the Fall 2024 semester begins.

Austin H. Foushee is a 2023 Carolina graduate, and an incoming 1L at the UNC Law School. After founding an Ethics Bowl team at his high school in rural North Carolina, Austin moved to Chapel Hill, where he worked as the Undergraduate Assistant for the National High School Ethics Bowl while completing a dual degree program in Philosophy and Political Science at UNC. During his time at Carolina, Austin was a Parr Center Ethics Fellow, an event coordinator for the Center’s NHSEBAcademy program, in addition to working as a consulting coach for the NHSEBBridge program, as well as his own high school and others in the area. Austin’s time at the Parr Center has been marked by his creation and supervision of NHSEB’s first Student Advisory Council, as well as his many other lasting contributions to the program. We are thrilled to award a scholarship in his honor, and to celebrate future students who will bring the spirit of the Ethics Bowl activity to our community at Carolina.
