The Colorado Aeronautical Board approved just over $385,000 in Colorado Aviation Education and Workforce Development grants. The grants were awarded on June 6, 2024, during a meeting of the Colorado Aeronautical Board (CAB) held in conjunction with the Colorado Airport Operators Association (CAOA) Spring Conference.
A total of 14 organizations applied to compete for the $400,000 allocated and approved for the FY2025 grant program by the CAB in January 2024. Each applicant was required to answer a battery of nine questions regarding the details of the aviation program they proposed to be funded through the Colorado Aviation Education and Workforce Development Grant Program. All 14 applicants were awarded grants for the FY2025 grant cycle.
This aviation grant program aims to support organizations and entities that focus on aviation education and workforce development, as well as those that help develop the talent pipeline needed to meet the future aviation system needs of Colorado.
The Colorado Aviation Education and Workforce Development Program is fully supported by the Division’s overall mission to advance a safe and efficient aviation system through collaboration, investment, and advocacy.
