Each year, three local high school juniors are selected to represent Palmetto Electric Cooperative as delegates to the Washington Youth Tour, a weeklong—all expenses paid—educational trip to our nation's capital. They also are eligible to compete for a $2,500 college scholarship awarded by the Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina.
While in Washington students get to see government in action, meet South Carolina's congressmen, visit monuments and historic sites, and take part in special Youth Tour programs with 1,500 other high school juniors from across America.
Congratulations to Palmetto Electric's 2012 Delegates!
