What this means

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced $3.7 million in Perkins Leadership Grants to 13 public two-year colleges for the 2026–27 grant cycle. The awards fund three areas: credentials tied to current and emerging high-demand jobs, recruitment and retention of postsecondary career-and-technical-education instructors, and prison education supporting reentry. The state says the new grant categories replace two Perkins programs that ended August 31, 2026; the release names the institutional recipients and amounts but does not open a student or public application process.
