Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Minorities in Aviation Education Act of 2023 This bill establishes grants for increasing the exposure and access of students to the aviation industry, with a particular focus on women and minorities. Specifically, the Department of Transportation (DOT) must establish the Bessie Coleman Aviation Education Program to award the grants to state and local governments or educational agencies for activities that increase exposure and access to aviation-related education and jobs, such as programs to increase the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities in aviation degree programs. DOT must prioritize grant applicants that propose to use the funds to encourage the participation of women, minorities, and individuals in rural and urban areas in the aviation industry.
