About the Organization

The International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading Foundation (ISTAT Foundation) was founded in 1994 to support individuals and institutions that promote the advancement of commercial aviation and humanitarianism.

About the Grant

The International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading (ISTAT) Foundation 2024 Grants Program now encompasses both Educational Grants and Humanitarian Grants.

The Grants Program is administered by the Grants Committee of the ISTAT Foundation Board of Trustees and consists of two types of grants: educational grants and humanitarian grants.

• Educational grants aim to nurture early enthusiasm for commercial aviation among young individuals, introducing them to the diverse range of careers available within the industry.

• Humanitarian grants focus on supporting organizations globally that leverage aviation to save lives, promote human welfare, and alleviate suffering.

The average grant value in 2023 was US$8,500.

The committee is responsible for reviewing and scoring the applications and presenting a slate of candidates to the Board of Trustees for final approval. Programs or projects with an international focus and themes related to aviation and sustainability will be prioritized by the committee.
