Schools Nationwide Receive $13.5 Million in FAA Grants to Develop the Next Generation of Aviation Professionals

Tuesday, March 5, 2024

WASHINGTON— Thirty-two schools will receive $13.5 million in grants from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to help attract and train students for careers as pilots and aviation maintenance technicians. 
 
Twelve of the schools will receive $4.5 million from the FAA’s Aircraft Pilots Aviation Workforce Development Grants program. The schools can use the funding to create and deliver curriculums designed to prepare high school students to become pilots, aerospace engineers or drone operators. Grants may also be used to support the professional development of teachers.

Grant recipients include: 

  • Beaufort County Schools, Washington, N.C.: $374,930 
  • Elizabeth City State University, Elizabeth City, N.C.: $393,142 
  • Fox Valley Lutheran High School, Appleton, Wisc.: $27,800 
  • Georgetown Independent School District, Georgetown, Texas: $462,208.95
