Choose Aerospace is making a significant impact in low-income communities through its high school aviation maintenance programs. According to data gathered in preparation for the current FAA workforce development grant opportunity, 78% of our partnered high schools are listed on the Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) directory, a federal resource identifying schools that serve economically disadvantaged populations. Notably, 83% of the students in our high school programs attend schools that qualify for free-lunch programs, reflecting our focus on serving economically disadvantaged populations.
These numbers highlight our commitment to expanding access to quality aviation education where it is needed most. By prioritizing schools in underserved areas, we are helping to create pathways to technical careers for students who might otherwise lack such opportunities. As we continue to refine our impact data, we are focusing on HUD Opportunity Zones as an important part of the current FAA grant opportunity, underscoring our dedication to addressing workforce needs in underserved areas.
