Programs and Events
FRS Scholarship Program

The Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) was established in 1994 and, through its partnership with NTCA – The Rural Broadband Association promotes, educates, and advocates rural telecommunications issues to the public in order to sustain and enhance the quality of life within communities throughout rural America. In keeping with its mission, furthering the education of rural youth is a primary focus of the foundation. Our company, Endeavor Communications, is a member of NTCA and is proud to support FRS in this worthy endeavor.

FRS Youth Tour

The Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) Youth Tour brings more than 100 high school students from rural communities across the nation to Washington, DC, for five days to learn about legislative and government processes and the importance of quality broadband connections. NTCA member companies, including Endeavor Communications, sponsor students and chaperones to attend and see our nation’s capital in action.

Some of the highlights of the trip include touring famous historical sites and monuments, meeting with Federal Communications Commission and congressional staff, experiencing a special cultural performance, building relationships with peers that can last a lifetime, and developing leadership skills. Plus, there is a Youth Tour mixer where everyone can dance the night away!

This is an incredible opportunity for any high school student interested in government or broadband connectivity.
