We are a committed group of NHI alumni actively serving the Austin  metro region with the intent of engaging high ability youth in leadership development and preparing students to serve in future community leadership roles. Below is a list of schools that we currently serve. In 2022, up to 30 students from the Austin Independent School District will qualify for a full scholarship to participate in the Great Debate. In addition, the NHI Austin team will also be comprised of top students from across all Travis, Hays, and Williamson Counties.
