Can I finance my flight training?

Yes. Flight training can often be financed if your flight school works with a third-party financing company.

Financing can allow qualified students to spread the cost of training over time rather than paying the entire amount out of pocket. Available loan amounts, interest rates, repayment terms, and eligibility requirements will depend on the lender and your financial situation.

When researching a flight school, ask:

• Do you offer or accept flight training financing?

• Which financing companies do you work with?

• Which training programs and expenses can be financed?

• When does repayment begin?

• What interest rate and loan terms could I qualify for?

• Is there a penalty for paying the loan off early?

It's also important to understand that financing doesn't reduce the cost of training. Interest and fees can increase the total amount you ultimately pay, so compare financing options carefully before committing.

If financing is important to making flight training possible, ask the flight school directly about its financing partners and application process. They should be able to explain your available options and connect you with the appropriate lender.
