Want to start an Ethics Bowl team? Let us help.
As the host of the Indiana High School Ethics Bowl, the Prindle Institute is offering startup grants up to $500 to found and coach new Ethics Bowl teams during the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Prindle Institute staff members are available to offer coaching guidance, including tips to recruit and prepare high school students for competition. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and funds are first-come, first served until exhausted. Grants will be disbursed in two installments: the first in December 2024 and the second following the IHSEB in February 2025.
About the Indiana High School Ethics Bowl
Ethics Bowl is an activity that promotes respectful, supportive, and in-depth dialogue about ethical and moral questions and decisions. Ethics Bowl matches during a competition feature two teams meeting head-to-head to discuss and evaluate case studies.
The Indiana High School Ethics Bowl (IHSEB) is an affiliated Regional Competition with the National High School Ethics Bowl program. The 2024 IHSEB will take place on Saturday, February 1, 2025 at the Prindle Institute for Ethics on the campus of DePauw University in Greencastle, IN. All teams will participate in three preliminary rounds in the morning, with winning teams moving onto elimination rounds in the afternoon. The winner of the IHSEB will advance to NHSEB’s Central Divisional Playoffs (also hosted by the Prindle Institute) to compete for a seat at the NHSEB National Championship in April 2025 at the University of North Carolina’s Parr Center for Ethics.
Registration for the Indiana High School Ethics Bowl will open in September. The registration fee for 2024-2025 is $200 before the December 1 deadline, after which the fee will increase to $250. Additional teams from participating schools (up to three) may be accepted if space allows, and will require an additional $75 registration fee.
