Bright Ideas

Is there an exciting hands-on project that you would like to bring to your classroom? The Bright Ideas grant program from Covington Electric Cooperative gives teachers a chance to explore endless possibilities.

CEC offers a limited number of grants to individual teachers to support innovative and interactive initiatives that are not covered by traditional funding. This program is available for teachers in grades K4-12. These grant funds are only available to public and private schools served by CEC. The co-op no longer offers team grants and the maximum amount that an individual teacher may apply for is $800.

The deadline to submit a Bright Ideas grant to CEC is Monday, Nov. 3, 2025.

Please mail grant applications to:  Covington Electric Cooperative, Attn: Patty S. Seay, 18836 US Hwy 84, Andalusia, AL 36421.

Grant applications can also be dropped off at the CEC main office in Sanford. Be sure to mark Attn: Patty S. Seay on the envelope.
