About the Internship Program

The Florida Airports Council awards Internship Grants to airport members to help provide work experience for students interested in pursuing careers in aviation/airport fields and to provide a talented workforce for Florida's airports. Grants are awarded to airports that demonstrate a willingness and desire to employ and supervise an Intern. The Council has awarded over $527K in internship grants to member airports that have positively impacted 160 students.

Application Process

  • Submit a complete application by email.
  • Attach a statement of your organization's top executive or a copy of your Board's statements showing willingness to accept the grant funds.
