Hello all,
I'm a broke college student getting a Aviation degree, I'm working on private pilot cert right now but I need your help. Does anybody know of scholarships that will help pay to get a private certificate? Or you can donate to my fund.

what's an Aviation degree? mostly geared toward pilot? Yes, they want us to get our Private, Instrument, Commercial, multi engine and CFI before we leave My degree is in aviation. I added MEI and CFII before I left. I have to be honest and say that the Aviation degree may not be ideal for you if you are having trouble funding a private. It simply gets more expensive as you go up. But I do wish the best, and hope some of the scholarships work out. I was fortunate and had rich parents. |

I have grants to pay for it, but its always nice to have a little just in case. |

On the other hand, if you can get started in corporate aviation flying something small for a reliable and fair company, perhaps somewhere where you gain real-world experience rapidly, you may quickly find yourself making more money than you would at the regional airlines. In my experience, if the company you're working for likes you, they'll find ways to move you into bigger and better aircraft. Once you get a type rating, then you've got a marketable skill and can really start to make decent money. |
