Do you have a rising sixth or seventh grader who dreams of playing basketball on a college campus? Four County EMC is partnering with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and N.C. State University to make that dream a reality for two local middle school students.
Through the Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarship program, Four County EMC will provide one young lady with a scholarship to attend the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp June 19-22 at N.C. State University, and one young man the opportunity to attend the Carolina Basketball School June 18-22 at UNC.
The scholarships cover all expenses at the overnight camps, which provide a glimpse into life on a college campus. Campers stay overnight in dorms, learn fundamental skills that will help them excel on and off the court, and receive individual and group instruction from Division 1 coaches to enhance their basketball and team working abilities.
To apply, students must be in the sixth or seventh grade during the 2022-2023 school year and submit the online application by March 31. To learn more and apply, visit www.ncelectriccooperatives.com/sports-camps/.
More than 50 students will be awarded Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarships from electric cooperatives in North Carolina this year. Now in its 19th year, the scholarship program demonstrates the electric cooperatives’ commitment to building a brighter future through continued support for education and community programs.
Four County EMC serves more than 33,000 members in Bladen, Duplin, Pender, Sampson, Columbus and Onslow counties.
