Announcing the Foushee Alumni Scholarship

This Spring, the Director and Executive Committee of the National High School Ethics Bowl are proud to announce the Austin Foushee Alumni Scholarship, and excitedly invite applications from prospective students.

This scholarship award, in the amount of $250, is available to an alumnus of the National High School Ethics Bowl program who will be attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a first year student in the Fall of 2023. The inaugural application cycle will open April 30, 2023, and all applications must be submitted by June 1. The winner of the scholarship will be notified by July 1, and the award will be disbursed as the Fall 2023 semester begins in August.

Austin H. Foushee is a 2023 Carolina graduate, and plans to attend law school this Fall. 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 establish this scholarship fund in his honor, and to celebrate future students who will bring the spirit of the Ethics Bowl activity to our community at Carolina.
