Perkins funds

Perkins funds are federal financial aid allocated to support career and technical education (CTE) programs in schools and colleges. These funds aim to improve skills, enhance technical training, and prepare students for the workforce. They are provided to eligible educational institutions based on a statutory formula, helping develop high-quality CTE programs, purchase equipment, and offer student support. The goal is to strengthen the connection between education and employment, ensuring students gain the practical skills needed for specific careers.
