Through participation at the UIL Cross-Examination State Meet, students who advance to the debate elimination rounds qualify for Texas Interscholastic League Foundation scholarships. 

"UIL debate competition motivates students and provides them with practical applications for the practical skills they are developing," said Jana Riggins, UIL State Debate Director. This year's debate topic prompted students to research and form their thoughts and opinions on the real-world issues the U.S. government is challenged with", she continued.
