Announcing New Partnership!
 The National Individual Events Tournament of Champions Executive Board is proud to announce a new and valuable partnership with Gustavus Adolphus College! Gustavus Adolphus College Forensics is a comprehensive, co-curricular program that competes in eleven American Forensics Association individual events and is located in Saint Peter, Minnesota. Beginning with the 2012 championship tournament, each Main and Supplemental Event Champion will receive a $16,000 scholarship award to attend Gustavus Adolphus College!
This partnership does much to further the mission and goals of the NIETOC. Scholarship offerings currently also include $500 for each Main Event Champion and $250 for each Supplemental Event Champion to attend the college of choice. Adding such a generous scholarship from Gustavus Adolphus with its prestigious history and commitment to individual forensic events is an exciting step forward as we strive to live up to our vision.
The NIETOC welcomes Mr. Kristopher B. Kracht, Director of Forensics and the Gustavus Adolphus College family to our network of schools and students from across the country!
