The shot clock is counting down for rising sixth and seventh graders to apply for a Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarship. Randolph EMC will select one young woman to attend the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp at N.C. State University June 16–19 and one young man to attend the Carolina Basketball School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill June 22–26.

The online applications include two short essays and require a parent or guardian’s signature. Eligible applicants must be in sixth or seventh grade during the 2023–2024 school year. The application deadline is March 31.

Scholarship winners will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to camp, where they will experience life on a college campus, train with college coaches and athletes and develop skills to help them excel on and off the court.

“We are very pleased to offer these scholarships,” said Nicole Arnold, communications and public affairs manager for REMC.

“The program offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for student athletes to hone their skills at a critical and formative time in their development. We encourage our members with children in middle school to apply for these camps, so the children can learn from the best college coaches in the country.”
