American Airlines has made a donation of $150,000 as a grant to Florida Memorial University (FMU) in support of the school's Wayman Aviation Academy, which provides access to careers in aviation for underrepresented students and develops top aviation talent. The contribution furthers American’s mission to create awareness and access to opportunities in aviation.
This partnership aligns with key goals for American and FMU, including:
Supporting the Wayman Aviation Academy: The $150,000 grant will help fund new initiatives, equipment and training opportunities, ensuring students receive cutting-edge education and resources.
Increased access to top talent: FMU will offer American increased engagement with its aviation program and affiliate university programs, creating a direct channel for talent in aviation.
Building brand preference: American aims to establish itself as a preferred employer among FMU students and alums by offering career development opportunities and access to industry professionals.
Future career opportunities: The partnership will provide American a pipeline for interns and early-career professionals, focusing on pilots and management roles.
The partnership builds on American’s existing engagement with FMU students. The American campus team and Miami International Airport (MIA) Flight Chief office have developed strong relationships with FMU, providing mentorship, campus visits and base tours to enhance student experiences.
