The deadline for middle-school students to apply for an all-expense paid scholarship to basketball camp is approaching. Applications for Touchstone Energy Sports Camp scholarships must be submitted or postmarked by March 30.

Boys can apply to attend the Roy Williams Carolina Basketball Camp June 15–19 on the University of North Carolina campus in Chapel Hill, and girls can apply to attend the Kellie Harper Basketball Academy Aug. 1–4 at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.
