 I am writing to ask NAUDL provide an announcement for US debaters (and other students) . We have announced our State Department grant program in the past and have had debaters among the US fellows.  If you are able to notify your membership of this opportunity it would be much appreciated. We will be selecting students in early May, so an April announcement works well.
