She immediately began applying her time, talent and energy toward speech and debate, one of the six Performance Scholarship categories available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Scholarship was really important to me, because without it I would never have been able to afford college,\u201d Nadon said.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the scholarship, Nadon joined the university\u2019s debate team, where she began competing nationally as well as internationally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had never left the country before, and during my very first year at La&nbsp;Verne I traveled to Taiwan, the Philippines, England and Canada,\u201d Nadon said.<\/p>\n<p>She has also competed in Budapest, Hungary and various states throughout the U.S., and will be competing in the upcoming World Championships in Malaysia as well as and the National Tournament in Alaska.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApplying for the scholarship and continuing on the debate team is by far the best decision I\u2019ve ever made,\u201d said Nadon, who will be graduating in spring 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/artsci.laverne.edu\/scholarship\/\">Performance Scholarships are available again this year<\/a> and the December 15th deadline is fast approaching.
