Cost and funding for US pilot training
Flight training is an investment in your future. While the costs associated with training to become a commercial pilot are high, ultimately, it can be more affordable and financially rewarding than other post-secondary education options. So, how much does it cost to become a pilot - and how can you fund pilot training?

Funding pilot training
Developing a plan to fund your training is one of the first steps in the enrollment process. Our Admissions and Financial Aid teams will help guide you through the process of exploring financing options.
Most students pay for the primary portion of their training through self-pay, private educational loans, or a combination of both. For those who prefer to fund their pilot training through private student loans, we have partnered with lenders who can provide up to 100% of the cost of pilot training for eligible, credit-worthy borrowers.
To support you to cover your pilot license cost, there are several flight school loans available that you can apply for.
Flight school loans
We work with providers such as Sallie Mae and Stratus Financial who offer loan options of up to 100% of the cost of pilot training.
External scholarships
Whilst we don't currently offer scholarships, there are a range of external organizations that do.
Other options for funding pilot training
Some students may choose to self-fund their pilot training. Also, if you have served in the US military, you may be eligible for educational benefits that could pay for a portion of your flight training program costs.
