Because flight training can be very costly, you are urged to apply primarily for “free money”, investigate work-study opportunities, and finally loans. Students should also check with their employer for a reimbursement plan. Some companies may pay the entire cost of tuition, books, supplies and flight time. BC is committed to assisting you in finding necessary funds to complete your flight training without incurring unreasonable debt. A good source of information is the student gateway to the U.S. government at http://www.students.gov/STUGOVWebApp/Public SOURCES OF FREE MONEY
