BEMC offering scholarships to basketball summer camps

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (NEWS RELEASE) — Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation is accepting applications from middle-school students for all-expense paid scholarships to summer basketball camps at the University of North Carolina and NC State University.

Young men can apply to attend the Roy Williams Carolina Basketball Camp in Chapel Hill, and young women can compete for a spot at the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp in Raleigh.

Rising sixth through eighth graders are eligible to apply, and the final application deadline is March 31. Students can download an application here.

BEMC will select one student for each camp in a competitive process based on academics, extra-curricular activities and a short essay. The Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarship program, sponsored by BEMC and the state’s other 25 electric cooperatives, sends more than 50 students statewide to learn from renowned collegiate coaches and athletes each year.

Both camps will work closely with students to develop fundamental skills like sportsmanship and leadership that will help young athletes excel both on and off the court.
