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. Scholarship winners will stay on campus in dorms during the overnight camps and work directly with coaching staff and players to develop basketball and teamwork skills. To apply, students must be in middle school (sixth, seventh or eighth grade) during the 2013–2014 school year. Applications and more information can be found at www.ncelectriccooperatives.com. More than 50 students across the state will win Touchstone Energy Sports Camp scholarships this year.
