Each summer the Trico Foundation sends local high school juniors on a trip to Washington, D.C., where more than 1,800 students from electric cooperatives across the country come together to visit our nation’s capital.
Students spend the week visiting monuments and memorials, exploring museums, and touring the U.S. Capitol Building. Students meet with staffers and members of Congress to discuss relevant topics that affect them and their local communities.
Applications for the 2024 Washington Youth Tour are closed. Deadline to apply was November 1, 2023. The following guidelines and eligibility requirements applied:
- High school juniors who are the dependent child of a Trico Electric Cooperative Member are eligible to apply.
- The name on the application must be the name of the student applying.
- There are two parts to the application. Once students complete the general information section of the application, they must click Submit Application and then go back to the Dashboard to complete the Washington Youth Tour application.
- The deadline to apply was November 1, 2023.
- Students must submit a short video, so please allow plenty of time to complete this follow-up work.
- Please use an email that you check regularly as email is the easiest way for us to contact students.
