Each year, Mid-Carolina supports students across our service area with education scholarships and grants. We’re accepting applications until March 4, 2022, for our Touchstone Energy scholarships, the Washington Youth Tour and the Cooperative Youth Summit, and we encourage students from eligible schools to apply now.

“Mid-Carolina is proud to help build this community’s future leaders,” said Troy Simpson, Mid-Carolina vice president of Member Services. “It’s exciting to help these students make connections and recognize them for all their hard work.”

Eligible students attend schools from across Mid-Carolina’s service area, including the following school districts: Lexington County Districts 1, 2 and 3; Lexington-Richland County District 5; Saluda County District 1; and private schools within these districts.
