Marlboro Electric will be offering an opportunity of a lifetime to two area high school juniors in Marlboro or Dillon County.  Students selected will receive an all-expense paid educational experience to Washington, DC.
In addition, South Carolina high school teachers and guidance counselors can apply through January 31st to join The Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina (ECSC) on the 2014 Washington Youth Tour. Two teachers will be selected to join rising high school seniors from across South Carolina for the June 14-19 trip.
