As part of our commitment to the communities in which we serve, Pee Dee Electric offers several youth-focused programs intended to provide young people with opportunities in education, leadership, and athletic participation.
MIDDLE SCHOOLERS
Apply for a Sports Camp Scholarship to Attend Basketball Camp this summer!
Pee Dee Electric is now accepting applications for scholarships to attend basketball camps at two North Carolina universities this summer. Young men can apply for a scholarship to attend the Carolina Basketball School, which will be held at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Young women can apply for a spot at the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp, which will be held at NC State University in Raleigh.
The scholarships cover all expenses at the overnight camps, which provide a glimpse into college campus life. 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.
Apply for a Sports Camp Scholarship
To apply, students must be in the sixth or seventh grade during the 2026-2027 school year and reside in a household that receives services from Pee Dee Electric. The application opens in January 2026, and it must be submitted by March 31.
HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS AND SENIORS
Pee Dee Electric invites you to apply for the 2026 Youth Tour to Washington, D.C.
This weeklong experience offers a unique exploration of the cooperative business model, U.S. history, and government functions. Up to two exceptional candidates will represent our co-op, joining students from electric cooperatives across the state. Participants also have the chance to win scholarships, including the prestigious Youth Leadership Council (YLC) Scholarship.
