Last month, the Colorado Aeronautical Board approved nearly $540,000 in Colorado Aviation Education and Workforce Development grants. The grants were awarded on June 22, 2023, during a meeting of the Colorado Aeronautical Board (CAB) held in conjunction with the Colorado Airport Operators Association (CAOA) Spring Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
A total of 20 organizations applied to compete for the $590,000 allocated and approved for the FY2024 grant program by the CAB in January 2023. 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. A total of 12 applicants were awarded grants for the 2024 grant cycle.
The purpose of this aviation grant program is to help support organizations and entities that focus on aviation education and workforce development, and organizations that help develop the talent pipeline needed to support our future aviation system needs within the State 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.
