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 for the 2026-2027 school year is Nov. 6, 2026.

All applicants were notified about funding awards in December. We appreciate your interest in this program and your dedication to educating our young people.
