Rutherford EMC Awards Bright Ideas
Grants to Classroom Teachers
Vol. 17, No. 1 Now Serving 67,754 Members January 2014
Rutherford EMC recently awarded 19 grants, totaling $15,101 to area teachers
for special projects that will enhance learning in their classrooms.
The Bright Ideas grant program, sponsored by North Carolina’s electric coop-
eratives, strives to improve education in North Carolina classrooms by award-
ing grants to teachers for innovative, classroom-based projects in grades K-12
that would not otherwise be funded. The annual Bright Ideas awards fund
creative teaching ideas to meet the needs of area students.
With these new grants, Rutherford EMC has now contributed over $310,000
to area schools over the past 20 school years.
Since it began in 1994, the Bright Ideas program has awarded about $8.5
million in grant money to the state’s teachers to sponsor more than 8,300 proj-
ects reaching well over 1.5 million students.
The funds go to public school teachers serving grades K-12, with awards of
up to $1,000 being offered for projects in any discipline.
Bright Ideas grant applications are screened by volunteer judges, including
educators, community leaders and representatives of the co-ops in a competi-
tive evaluation process. Judges across the state reviewed over 1,400 applica-
tions this year.
