Many young basketball players dream of playing under the bright lights of a college arena, showcasing their skills on the hardwood. Albemarle EMC is helping to make that dream a reality for two lucky students by once again partnering with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and N.C. State University.
Through the Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarship program, Albemarle EMC will provide one young woman with a scholarship to attend the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp at N.C. State University, June 16-19. Young men can apply for a scholarship to attend the Carolina Basketball School which will be held June 22-26 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Eligible applicants must be in sixth or seventh grade during the 2024-2025 school year at a qualifying school. To apply, students must complete and submit the online application by March 31 at ncelectriccooperatives.com/sports-camps.
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-building abilities.
