Every January, TCEC opens its Giving Funds to Schools (GiFTS) applications for educators and students to apply for mini-grants for their classrooms and curriculum. Funds are limited based on the number of students enrolled in each school. They are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so apply early.

The cooperative is also accepting applications from eighth graders for its Energy Camp trip, from high school juniors for trips to Washington, D.C., and Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and from high school seniors for the Leadership Summit scholarship and trip to Oklahoma City. 

Go to www.tcec.coop/youth you will find more information and application links for all these programs.
