A program that provides high school students a pathway to an aviation maintenance career is expanding for the 2024-25 academic year thanks to a U.S. government grant that will provide financial aid and help grow the list of participating institutions.   Choose Aerospace and the Clemson University Center for Workforce Development will use the $500,000 Federal Aviation Administration grant to expand their high school technical training program, with a focus on under-served communities. The grant will provide financial aid for up to 500 students around the country. Participating schools will be eligible to apply for the curriculum scholarship for up to 25 students.
