Perkins V CTE Funding in Colorado is administered by the Colorado Community College System (CCCS) and flows to local school districts through an annual reimbursement-based local plan. It's one of the most reliable and accessible funding streams for CTE, computer science, and robotics programs.
What This Grant Funds
Perkins V supports Career & Technical Education programs including computer science, coding, robotics, and ed-tech integration. Eligible expenses include equipment, curriculum, professional development, and student certifications. Programs must align with approved CTE pathways.
