Bright Ideas Grant

Bright Ideas awards teachers money for innovative lessons and projects to energize student’s learning abilities. The purpose of the Bright Ideas Program is to provide resources for teachers that will enable them to plan and implement special instructional opportunities to improve student achievement through the implementation of the Georgia Performance Standards.

The Bright Ideas program will award grants of up to $1,000 to winning teachers. Public and private school teachers, teaching grades K-12, in any subject area are eligible to apply. Schools in the areas that Colquitt EMC serves may submit more than one application. However, teachers are eligible to submit only one application per school year. The grants are not for professional development.

Applications for the 2025 Bright Ideas Grant will be available on June 1, 2025. Please contact Shelby Cloud at 229-985-3620 ext. 1246 if you have any questions.
