Find answers to common questions about financing your flight training.
Most flight training loans require a minimum credit score of 650. However, we work with multiple lenders with varying requirements. If your credit score is lower, you may still qualify with a co-signer or through our alternative financing options. Our financial advisors can help you find the best solution for your situation.
Scholarship recipients are selected based on a combination of factors including financial need, academic achievement, aviation goals, personal essays, and recommendations. Each scholarship has specific criteria, but all applications are reviewed by our scholarship committee composed of flight instructors, aviation professionals, and previous recipients. We strive to make the selection process fair and transparent.
Yes, many students use a combination of financing options to fund their training. For example, you might use a scholarship for your private pilot license and then a loan for advanced ratings. Or you might use GI Bill benefits supplemented with our payment plan. Our financial advisors can help you create a comprehensive funding strategy that combines multiple sources.
Our financing options are designed with flexibility in mind. If you need to pause your training due to personal circumstances, most loan programs offer deferment options. For payment plans, we can work with you to adjust the schedule. Scholarship funds typically remain available for up to one year, though extensions may be granted on a case-by-case basis.
The loan approval process typically takes 2-3 business days for initial approval, with funding available within 7-10 business days after all documentation is submitted. For expedited needs, we offer a fast-track option that can provide approval within 24 hours and funding within 3-5 business days for qualified applicants.
We pride ourselves on transparency with all our financing options. Our flight training loans have no application fees, no origination fees, and no prepayment penalties. Payment plans have no additional fees beyond the cost of training. All terms and conditions are clearly outlined before you commit to any financing option.
Yes, international students can apply for certain financing options and scholarships. While some loan programs require U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, we have international student loan programs with competitive rates. Several of our scholarships are also open to international applicants. Contact our financial advisors for specific options available to international students.
Flight training costs can sometimes exceed initial estimates due to various factors such as weather delays or the need for additional training hours. Our loan programs allow for supplemental funding if needed, and our payment plans can be adjusted. We recommend applying for financing that includes a 10-15% buffer above your estimated costs to account for potential overages.
