Union Power Offers Basketball Camp Scholarships to 6th- 8th Graders

January 13, 2012

North Carolina’s Touchstone Energy cooperatives, including Union Power Cooperative, are providing all-expense paid scholarships for 52 young men and women from across the state to attend basketball camps this summer.

Rising sixth through eighth graders are eligible to apply, and Union Power will begin accepting applications on Monday, January 16, 2012. The deadline to apply is Friday, March 30. Applicants will be judged on their academics, extra-curricular activities and accompanying essay.

Twenty-six girls will be selected to the Kellie Harper Wolfpack Basketball Academy at N.C. State in Raleigh, and 26 young men will attend the Roy Williams Carolina Basketball Camp at UNC in Chapel Hill. Each camper will work directly with championship-winning collegiate coaches to develop fundamental skills that will help the young athletes excel both on and off the court.
