Aero Education

Aerospace and aviation education is one of the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautic’s top priorities. Since FY2001, the Department has provided $5.1 million in aerospace and education funding to organizations and programs throughout the state. Just within the last 5 years alone, the Department has awarded over $1.9 million in education grants and contracts.

There is nothing more important that we do here at the Department than to encourage young people to consider aerospace or aviation as a career when they finish their post-secondary education. The Department’s aerospace and aviation education funding supports the Oklahoma Works initiative that aims to address the skills gap and connect students to programs that will help build Oklahoma’s aerospace and aviation workforce.
