Branscombe is responsible for monitoring the Perkins Federal Grant funds awarded to the State’s community colleges.

"Perkins funds are always important to LRCC," says Goulette, who has worked with Perkins funding decision making for thirty years as a Graphic Arts Professor, LRCC Department Head, and as Academic Affairs Vice President. "Students’ needs are so great at this point in time. Perkins funds have made a huge difference in the academic careers of many students."

LRCC received approximately $100,000.00 as its share of Perkins funding for the 2008-2009 academic year. LRCC Director of Learning Resources, Cyndy Davis (Gilford- not pictured), is the campus Perkins Manager and Chairperson of LRCC’s Perkins Committee.
