Empowering AVIATION
"The engine is the heart of an airplane, but the pilot is its soul."
Our grant program is designed to provide financial assistance for projects and initiatives that support aviation education, preserve aviation history, and enhance publicly accessible airport facilities in Ohio. These grants are awarded to promote the charitable purpose of strengthening aviation opportunities for the benefit of students, communities, and the general public.
By applying for a grant or scholarship, you become part of a statewide effort dedicated to ensuring that aviation in Ohio continues to serve as an educational resource, a driver of economic opportunity, and a vital public infrastructure for future generations.
Please take a moment to review our scholarship and grant application guidelines and submit your proposal. We look forward to learning more about how your project or educational goals will contribute to the advancement of aviation in Ohio in a way that benefits the community as a whole. Together, we can preserve, promote, and sustain Ohio’s aviation legacy for the public good.
