Washington Youth Tour

Washington Youth Tour LogoEach year, Lynches River Electric Cooperative sends two high school juniors to Washington D.C. to experience first hand democracy at work.

The tour, scheduled in June each year, is designed to get students involved in the political process. Winners of the trip will meet members of their legislative delegation, tour sites of historical significance and attend cultural events.

Winners are chosen on the basis of their school and community involvement, communication skills and knowledge gained about cooperatives in the application process. To be eligible, students must be rising high school seniors and their homes or families' business must be served by Lynches River Electric Cooperative.

High school juniors who would like to apply for the Electric Cooperative Washington Youth Tour should contact us or follow the links for more information. To see what an exciting experience the Washington Youth Tour can be visit www.youthtour.coop.

R.D. Bennett Scholarship

Winners of the Washington Youth Tour contest are qualified to compete for the Robert D. Bennett Scholarship through the Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina (ECSC). A one-time check in the amount of $2,500 will be issued to the student and the college, university, trade or technical school of the winning student's choice, after the registrar's office completes the proper paperwork. The scholarship money may be requested up to three years after the winner is named.
