Career and technical education grants: $525,510

High schools, technical schools, and community colleges receive grants to prepare students to enter high-demand fields such as health care, renewable energy, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The cut would mean that 3,161 fewer students would be served, according to a government report.
