After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, Tideland is once again accepting applications for full scholarships to basketball camps at two North Carolina universities this summer.

Middle school boys can apply for a scholarship to attend the Carolina Basketball School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and middle school girls can apply for a spot at the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp held at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. These camps will take place in June 2022. Tideland will award one scholarship per camp.

At both camps, campers will work closely with college basketball coaches and camp staff to develop fundamental skills that help the young athletes perform and excel both on and off the court. Campers will stay in dorms overnight during the camp sessions.

To apply, students must be a rising sixth or seventh grade student at a qualifying school and reside in a Tideland EMC served household. Applicants will be judged on their academics, extracurricular activities and an essay. The application period begins in January and applications must be submitted by March 31.
