On Monday, the FAA released Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Round 3 (2023) of the Aviation Workforce Development (AWD) grants for Aircraft Pilots and Aviation Maintenance Technical Workers. The program, created by Congress in the 2018 FAA reauthorization bill, authorized $10 million in funding annually for pilot and maintenance workforce development programs.

The FAA will host a public information session to assist interested applicants on Tuesday, July 25, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. ET.
