It’s that time again! Edgecombe-Martin County EMC kicks off its Bright Ideas Education Grant program and begins accepting applications from innovative educators for the 2023-24 school year on April 1.

Edgecombe-Martin County EMC supports the local communities we serve, and Bright Ideas grants are a substantial way for us to help teachers make a difference for our students. These grants give teachers new resources to invigorate and excite their students, and we believe there is no better investment than in the education of our future leaders.

Bright Ideas grants are available to K-12 teachers for innovative projects in any subject. Educators can apply individually or as a team by submitting a simple online application.

Applications are accepted April 1 through Sept. 15. Teachers who submit their applications by the early bird deadline of Aug. 15 will be automatically entered to win one of
five $100 Visa gift cards. Teachers with ideas for creative classroom projects that bring learning to life can learn more and apply online at ncbrightideas.com.
