Opportunity Information: Apply for 20 FAA AWD AM 1
The FY20 FAA Aviation Workforce Development Grant Program - Aviation Maintenance is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration to strengthen the pipeline of aviation maintenance technical workers across the United States. The program was created under Section 625 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-254), signed on October 5, 2018, and Congress authorized the program to operate through the end of Fiscal Year 2023. In practical terms, the grant program is meant to help schools, training providers, and other eligible organizations expand and improve efforts that educate, recruit, and prepare people for careers in aircraft maintenance and related technical roles.
The central purpose is workforce development: building awareness, interest, and readiness for aviation maintenance careers while also supporting clear pathways into jobs. The FAA emphasizes providing meaningful educational experiences that can spark student interest early and encourage learners nationwide to pursue training that leads into the aviation maintenance profession. Alongside student-focused efforts, the program also supports activities that help people transition into aviation maintenance careers, including members of the U.S. Armed Forces, recognizing that service members often have relevant experience that can be aligned with civilian aviation maintenance credentials and employment.
From the funding details provided, grants are awarded as standard grant agreements under a discretionary competition. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 20.112 and is categorized within the transportation funding activity area. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000, and the FAA anticipated making around 100 awards, suggesting the agency intended to fund a broad set of projects rather than a small number of very large initiatives. The funding opportunity number is 20 FAA AWD AM 1, and the opportunity title indicates it is the FY20 cycle focused specifically on aviation maintenance.
Key dates included a creation/posting date of January 19, 2021, with an original application closing date of March 22, 2021. The FAA also noted that it published a Federal Register Notice to gather public input on the program, with the public comment period closing on September 23, 2020. This signals that the program structure and priorities were informed in part by stakeholder feedback before final implementation and award decisions.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere in the full notice, meaning the applicant pool likely extends beyond only traditional government entities and can include a range of organizations involved in education, training, outreach, and workforce pipeline development. Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to address aviation maintenance workforce needs by funding projects that promote education, expand recruitment, create stronger training experiences, and make it easier for new entrants, including military-affiliated candidates, to move into skilled aviation maintenance jobs.Apply for 20 FAA AWD AM 1
