Opportunity Information: Apply for 22 FAA AWD AM
The FAA Aviation Maintenance Technical Workers Workforce Development Grant Program (Assistance Listing 20.112) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration designed to grow the aviation maintenance technician pipeline across the United States. The central purpose is to expand the aviation maintenance technical workforce and to fund efforts that help people move into aviation maintenance careers, with particular attention to creating clear on-ramps from education and training into employment. The program is framed as a workforce development investment that pairs skills-based education with recruitment and career-transition support so more individuals are prepared to enter and succeed in aviation maintenance roles.
A major theme of the opportunity is building meaningful educational experiences that spark early interest and lead to real job readiness. The FAA highlights the need to stimulate interest among students nationwide and encourage them to prepare for aviation maintenance careers, while also supporting activities that ease the transition into the field for new entrants, including members of the Armed Forces. The opportunity explicitly aligns with broader federal priorities around equity, emphasizing that targeted investments can improve opportunities in communities that have been historically underserved and can help diversify and strengthen the future aviation maintenance workforce.
Funded projects must fit within specific eligible categories. The FAA will consider proposals that create new aviation maintenance educational programs or strengthen existing ones, including the purchase of training equipment that supports hands-on technical instruction. Scholarships and apprenticeships are also eligible, with the intent of reducing financial barriers and providing structured work-based learning pathways for people seeking employment in the industry. Outreach projects qualify as well, especially those that promote aviation maintenance careers to primary, secondary, and post-secondary students, as well as to communities that are underrepresented in the aviation maintenance workforce. The program also supports educational opportunities in economically disadvantaged geographic areas, reinforcing the equity and access component by encouraging training capacity where resources may be limited. In addition, projects that help people transition into aviation maintenance careers, including service members and veterans, are eligible, along with other initiatives that broadly enhance aviation maintenance technical education or expand the aviation maintenance workforce.
From the published opportunity details, the funding instrument is a grant and the activity category is transportation. The funding opportunity number is 22 FAA AWD AM. The expected scale of the competition was about 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000 per grant. The notice listed an original application closing date of June 10, 2022 (with a creation date of April 26, 2022). Eligibility is described in the listing as "Others" with further clarification typically provided in an additional eligibility section, signaling that the program may be open to a range of organizations involved in education, workforce training, and industry pipeline development, depending on the specific requirements laid out in the full notice.Apply for 22 FAA AWD AM
