Lenoir, North Carolina (December 18, 2008) – North Carolina’s Touchstone Energy cooperatives, including Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation, are providing all-expense paid scholarships for 27 deserving young women to attend the Kay Yow Basketball Camp in Raleigh and 27 young men to attend the Roy Williams Basketball Camp in Chapel Hill this summer. Both camps will work closely with each camper to develop fundamental skills that will help the young athletes excel both on and off the court.
Rising sixth through eighth graders are eligible to apply and the cooperatives will begin accepting applications on January 5, 2009. The deadline to apply is March 27, 2009. Applicants will be judged on their academics, extra-curricular activities and accompanying essay. Students can download an application at www.ncelectriccooperatives.com.
