financial aid
These programs are similar to the student loans for college. As with any loan, the amount you may borrow and the interest rates that apply varies from applicant to applicant. Your credit report will help the loan counselors make their final decisions. If your credit less than perfect, this may dictate a slightly higher interest rate. For those who have a lower credit score, it may be necessary to have a cosigner.
When flight training, it’s best to keep a regular schedule of flights. To help you accomplish this, it’s generally better to have more of your required funds on hand. When you fly on a regular basis, you maintain more proficiency from lesson to lesson. This keeps review times down and enables you to move to the next scheduled segment of your training.

If Sallie Mae sounds familiar to you, you’re not alone. Sallie Mae has been loaning money to students for years. Through their Career Training Loan program, money is available for flight training. You don’t even need to be a professionally-minded student to gain these funds. In fact, most of our students borrow enough to get them through their first certificate. It’s up to you if you choose to increase the loan amount at a later date.
