Funding for local agencies is available annually through state and federal funds. Federal funding is provided by the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006. For grant funding eligibility, information, or technical support, please contact the appropriate staff member listed under Contacts.

The Perkins Funding is available through the following grants applications: 1) Local Formula Funds, 2) Corrections, 3) Reserve Competitive, 4) Non-traditional Training and Employment, and 5) Special Populations.

To be eligible to apply for Perkins grant opportunities, applicants must have submitted and had approved a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA).

The Perkins Grants Administrator will provide the Notices of Funding Opportunities and all associated documents and resources to eligible applicants via email.

The Department of Education has aligned the state’s funding towards CTE programs that ensure students obtain skills and competencies needed by employers in high-skill, high-wage, and/or in-demand (regionally or state specific) career pathways. Any program selected for funding must be included in the state’s most current CTE Course Catalog.
