BRIGHT IDEAS GRANTS AWARDED
We are excited to share that, this year, Jones-Onslow Electric Membership Corporation has given 55 Bright Ideas grants to Onslow County teachers!
Each year, Jones-Onslow provides grant applications to teachers and principals, grades K-12, in Jones and Onslow counties, as well as the Topsail area of Pender County. This year, educators in Onslow County were awarded a total of $49,886!
Bright Ideas grants help schools fund innovative learning opportunities for students that are not covered by regular school funds. Educators submit proposals for what they would like to do with a Bright Ideas grant, such as projects, activities, etc., and may apply for individual grants up to $500 or in teams for grants up to $2,000.
