How to Get a Student Loan for a Private Pilot's License

So believe you can fly. I’m Cherry Ashwood. I’m a guidance counselor. And today I’m going to tell you how to get a student loan for your private pilot’s license. You’re going to pay roughly anywhere between $6,000-10,000 to get training to obtain a private pilot’s license.

This may be paid by the hour if you choose to go to a flight club or a private instructor for training. There are some technical schools that also offer associate degrees. And through these institutions you will be eligible for any scholarship or financial aid that the school offers as well as federal loans. And some examples are Browrick College or there’s a college in Texas that has what will be called aviation technologist license.

To get student loans outside of the federal government you can solicit private organizations. I’m sure there are flying organizations that would want to lend you money. A private loan would also be a good idea or a part time job or saving money to help pay for your private pilot’s license. I’m Cherry Ashwood. I’m a guidance counselor. And your future starts today.
