________________________________________________________

The Office of the Chancellor is committed to serving underrepresented students and to provide assistance to Perkins colleges and secondary schools that will ensure the retention and success of these students. These "special populations" include:

  • Individuals with disabilities
  • Economically and academically disadvantaged students
  • Individuals preparing for nontraditional training and employment
  • Single parents, including single pregnant women
  • Displaced homemakers
  • Individuals with other barriers to educational achievement including those with limited English proficiency

*As defined by the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998: "Nontraditional training and employment"* refers to any occupation or field of work in which a specific gender is underrepresented (less than 25%).
