Allocation of Perkins Reserve Funds   One million dollars of Perkins reserve funds, targeted to rural areas, has been allocated to 42 community colleges identified as rural, based on the number of students in 2017-2018 enrolled in CTE programs of study who received the Pell grant or BIA assistance. This is the same formula that was used to calculate the “Base” Perkins grant to the colleges. These reserve funds will be used by the colleges to “promote the development, implementation, and adoption of programs of study or career pathways aligned with State-identified high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand occupations or industries.” Forty-two colleges were found to have a population per square mile less than 250, which meets the definition of rural used by the NC Rural Center who define rural as “counties with an average population density of 250 people per square mile or less.” (https://www.ncruralcenter.org/about-us/) Process We calculated the population for each of the community college service areas, and we calculated the total square miles for each of the college service areas. Three of the college service areas split two of the counties (Bertie and Northampton). In those cases, we split both the county population as well as county land area in half and assigned these halves to each of the impacted colleges. We divided the population by the land area to obtain the population per square mile in each of the college service areas. Forty-two colleges were found to have a population per square mile less than 250, which meets the definition of rural.
