High school students can win a trip to Washington, D.C. 

Range, in conjunction with the Foundation for Rural Service, is again sponsoring a contest for high school students to win what has been referred to as a “trip of a lifetime”. 

One high school student will be selected to receive an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in the Foundation for Rural Service Youth Tour, May 31-June 4, 2023. To enter the contest, students must write a short essay that is no more than 250 words or no more than a five-minute video on the topic, “How broadband impacts daily life in YOUR rural community?”.

Essays must be postmarked no later than Feb. 24, 2023, and mailed to Range, Attn: Youth Tour, PO Box 127, Forsyth, MT 59327 or emailed to [email protected]. For complete details including complete eligibility requirements, visit range.net/community. 

The Youth Tour is a chance for students to visit our nation’s capital and learn about rural broadband, share their community’s story with key legislative, regulatory and government figures as well as a forum for them to meet and interact with their peers from other rural communities.
