North Carolina’s Touchstone Energy cooperatives are providing deserving students from across the state the opportunity to attend two basketball camps. The scholarships are being offered to rising 6-8th grade females to attend the Kellie Harper NC State Girls Basketball Camp at N.C. State University and to rising 6-8th grade males to attend the Roy Williams Basketball Camp at UNC-Chapel Hill. North Carolina’s Touchstone Energy cooperatives will send more than 50 students to the camps this year. Two students will be selected to participate from the Tideland EMC service area: one boy and one girl.

Kellie Harper was named head coach of the Wolfpack women’s basketball team in 2009, after five winning seasons as head coach at Western Carolina. Roy Williams is in his seventh season with the Tar Heels and has led the team to two national titles and three Final Fours. The coaches will use the help of their staff and current players to conduct their camps. Both camps will work closely with each camper to develop skills that will benefit the young athletes both on and off the court.

Applications for both camps will be accepted through March 30, 2012.. The winners of the scholarships will be announced no later than May 1, 2012.

Winners of the Touchstone Energy Kellie Harper Basketball Camp Scholarship will attend the overnight camp in Raleigh, June 24-27, while winners of the Touchstone Energy Roy Williams Basketball Camp Scholarship will attend the overnight camp in Chapel Hill, June 16-20. Campers must have permission from a parent or guardian to attend the camp and must provide their own transportation to and from the camp.

Applicants will be judged on their academics, extra-curricular activities and an essay and short answer question that must be submitted with the application.
