Northrop Rice Foundation - FAA Test Fees Grant Program
FAA Test Fees Program
The foundation is today focused on developing and implementing two programs:
Problem: Industry research indicates a looming shortage of aviation maintenance technicians (2019 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook) and that 30% of students graduating from AMT schools are not taking the FAA technician certification tests (2018 ATEC Pipeline Report).
Vision: We believe a large percentage of these non-certified AMT graduates, veteran military aviation maintenance personnel, and civilian’s with qualifying work experience (Qualified Candidates) need financial grants empowering and prompting them to complete the FAA written, oral and practical certification testing (average cost $1800).
Program: Qualified Candidates desiring to complete the written AMG, AMA and/or AMP FAA Airman Knowledge Tests, may apply for assistance using the link below.
