The trip is fully sponsored by LPEA and the Colorado Rural Electric Association, so students can attend at no cost. More than 1,800 students from 45 states are expected to participate in 2023.
To be eligible, applicants must live in LPEA’s service territory, be a junior in high school and complete an application at https://bit.ly/3Ua8GDR by Dec. 16.
