Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarships
 Touchstone Energy Sports Camps Scholarships are awarded to more than 50 middle school students every year to attend basketball camps on two of the state's largest college campuses.
The scholarships send 26 young women to the Kellie Harper Women's Basketball Camp at North Carolina State University and 26 young men to the Roy Williams Basketball Camp at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Both camps are held in the summer, and campers will work closely with the championship-winning college coaches to develop fundamental skills, helping the young athletes perform and excel both on and off the court.
Applicants will be judged on their academics, extra-curricular activities and an essay that must accompany the application. Students must be in sixth, seventh or eighth grade and must attend a qualifying school to apply.
Rising sixth through eighth grade students interested in the scholarships can contact their local electric cooperative to receive an application. Applications will be accepted from January through March, and most applicants will be notified about the results by May 1.
The Touchstone Energy Sports Camps program provides a unique educational and athletic opportunity for our state’s youth and demonstrates Touchstone Energy’s core values of accountability, integrity, innovation and particularly, commitment to community.
