Teachers, Apply for a Bright Ideas Grant!
Roanoke Cooperative is partnering with outstanding educators to bring creative learning to life! Starting April 1, teachers can apply for a Bright Ideas education grant of up to $2,000 to fund projects that enhance student success in K-12 classrooms and would otherwise not be possible. Applications and more information about the program can be found at www.ncbrightideas.com.
Grants are available in all curriculum areas including art, science, history and mathematics. Teachers in Bertie, Chowan, Gates, Halifax, Hertford, Northampton and Perquimans counties are eligible to apply.

Bright Ideas grant applications will be accepted through Sept. 15, but teachers are encouraged to apply early. Those who submit their application by the early bird deadline of Aug. 15 will be entered to win one of five $100 Visa gift cards. To learn more about this program, click here.

Support for youth and education is part of our continued commitment to building a brighter future for the communities we serve.
