The Delta Air Lines Foundation has awarded a $3 million grant to Middle Georgia State University (MGA), marking a significant development in the institution's aviation programs. This substantial award, the largest single contribution in MGA's history, will help expand and enhance MGA’s School of Aviation. It reflects the growing private support that complements public funding for Georgia's flagship aviation school, which plays a vital role in training pilots and aircraft maintenance personnel for one of the state's major industries.
“This grant opens doors to creating more opportunities for prospective students in our state to pursue rewarding careers in aviation,” stated MGA President Christopher Blake, “We are deeply appreciative of The Delta Air Lines Foundation for recognizing the central role our School of Aviation plays in supporting Georgia’s aviation industry.”
