GAINESVILLE – Time is growing short for area educators to submit an application for Jackson Electric Membership Corporation’s (EMC) Bright Ideas grant program.
Bright Ideas grants fund creative, innovative classroom projects developed by state certified public middle school teachers in Jackson EMC’s service area that aren’t funded through general educational funds.
Applications are due online by midnight Monday, June 1. Please review criteria on what is and isn’t considered, otherwise applications are disqualified.
Educators can earn up to $2,000 for classroom projects that would otherwise go unfunded.
Grants will be judged by an outside panel of experts and grant winners will be recognized by the Bright Ideas Prize Brigade in October and November.
