The final deadline to apply for a Bright Ideas grant of up to $2,000 from Union Power is Sept. 17.
The Bright Ideas Education Grant program, offered by Union Power and North Carolina’s 26 electric cooperatives, advances excellence in education and accelerates student learning by providing funds for innovative projects.
