Search for scholarships and grants<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike student loans, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/college-scholarships\/\">college scholarships<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/college-grants\/\">grants<\/a> generally don\u2019t have to be repaid \u2014 which makes them a great way to pay for flight school. There\u2019s no limit to how many scholarships and grants you can get, so it\u2019s a good idea to apply for as many as you can.<\/p>\n<p>There are scholarships specifically available for students attending flight school and other aviation programs, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aopa.org\/training-and-safety\/learn-to-fly\/aviation-scholarships\"><b>Aircraft Owners and Pilot Association flight training scholarships<\/b><\/a><b>: <\/b>These scholarships are awarded to high school students, teachers, and adults studying aviation.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninety-nines.org\/scholarships.htm\"><b>Amelia Earhart Memorial scholarships<\/b><\/a><b>:<\/b> These awards worth up to $20,000 in five different categories.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boeing.com\/principles\/university-relations.page\"><b>Boeing student scholarships<\/b><\/a><b>:<\/b> Boeing works directly with schools to offer scholarships to over 1,200 students each year.

Apply for federal student loans and financial aid<\/h3>\n<p>If you need to borrow for flight school, it\u2019s usually a good idea to start with federal student loans. This is mainly because they come with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/federal-student-loan-benefits\/\">federal student loan benefits<\/a> and protections, such as access to income-driven repayment plans as well as deferment and forbearance options.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, because flight schools are typically viewed as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/trade-school-loans\/\">trade schools<\/a>, they often don\u2019t have the accreditation needed to be eligible for federal financial aid. You can check if your school is accredited using the <a href=\"https:\/\/ope.ed.gov\/dapip\/#\/home\">Department of Education&#8217;s database<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re attending an accredited flight school, be sure to fill out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/applying-for-fafsa\/\">Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)<\/a> to see what federal student loans and other federal financial aid are available to you. The federal student loans you might be able to get for flight school include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Direct Subsidized Loans: <\/b>These loans are available to undergraduate students with financial need. The government covers the interest on subsidized loans while you\u2019re in school.<\/li>\n<li><b>Direct Unsubsidized Loans:<\/b> These loans are available to both undergraduate and graduate students regardless of financial need. Unlike subsidized loans, you\u2019re responsible for all of the interest that accrues on unsubsidized loans.<\/li>\n<li><b>Parent PLUS Loans:<\/b> Parents who want to pay for their child\u2019s flight school education might qualify for this type of loan. PLUS Loans typically have higher interest rates than other federal student loans. They also require a credit check.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><i>Check Out: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/federal-vs-private-student-loans\/\"><b><i>Federal vs. Private Student Loans: 5 Differences<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>3. Finance through the flight school<\/h3>\n<p>Many flight schools recognize how difficult it can be for students to get the financing they need to afford their training. This is why a number of flight schools provide financing options to students. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/atpflightschool.com\/financing\/\" rel=\"\u201cnofollow\u201d\"><b>Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Flight School<\/b><\/a> has partnered with Sallie Mae to offer the lender\u2019s lowest-rate undergraduate student loan product to ATP students. ATP also works with other lenders to provide loan options \u2014 such as Meritize, which offers merit-based lending.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyaeroguard.com\/admissions\/financing\/\" rel=\"\u201cnofollow\u201d\"><b>AeroGuard Flight Training Center<\/b><\/a> allows students to finance the cost of their program through ZuntaFi.

Fill the gaps with private student loans<\/h3>\n<p>After you\u2019ve exhausted scholarship, grant, and federal student loan options as well as explored financing through your school, private student loans can help fill any financial gaps left over.<\/p>\n<p>Before you take out a private student loan, be sure to compare as many lenders as possible to find the right loan for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/student-loans\/how-to-get-a-student-loan\/\">get a student loan<\/a> to pay for flight school, it\u2019s important to consider how much that loan will cost you in the future. This way, you can be prepared for any added expenses.
