Applications open now for all-expense-paid trips and scholarships

Summer 2023 may seem like a long time away as fall fades and winter approaches, but finding and selecting stellar delegates for youth trips takes time. Rolling Hills Electric is now accepting applications from high school juniors who are interested in competing for a “trip of a lifetime.” In addition to the two trips to be awarded, each recipient will receive a $500 scholarship upon high school graduation. 

To be eligible, parents’ or guardians’ primary residence must be on Rolling Hills Electric’s power lines. We encourage all eligible students to apply for the summer youth trips!

Rolling Hills Electric Cooperative will select two delegates to sponsor for these youth trips. 

  • One high school junior will go to Washington, D.C., as part of the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour. 
  • One high school junior will go to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, for the Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp. 

Rolling Hills Electric pays for transportation, lodging, meals and other incidental costs incurred with all trips. The safety of our students and chaperones is our top priority. If trip coordinators feel that travel is unsafe, we will cancel the trips.

In this case, we may ask delegates to participate in an alternate activity for an award.

For an eligible high school junior to enter the competition, applications must be submitted and received BY DEC. 30, 2022. Application details are online at https://rollinghills.coop/apply-our-youth-programs. Summer will be here before you know it. Don’t delay; enter today!
