Mihlfeldl2005 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Well hello, It's been a little while since I last posted on this board. I graduated Flight School XXI this past month and returned to my National Guard unit. I just applied to Western Michigan University and have a meeting with an academic advisor on Friday. Besides the obvious G.I. Bill and FTA, what other scholarships/methods of paying for school are out there for military? Specifically going for an Aviation Flight Sciences degreehttp://www.wmich.edu/academics/undergraduate/aviation-flight Quote
zVo Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I'd HIGHLY recommend getting a different degree... Quote
wm200 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 I got the same degree and I start BOLC in a few weeks. But yea, I recommend a different degree. Get your ratings at a FBO. College flight schools are 3-5x more expensive. Quote
apacheguy Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 College flight schools are 3-5x more expensive. But the GI Bill pays for the whole thing if you're pursuing a degree unlike at a FBO... Quote
DaveC Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Get a non-aviation degree (engineering is a great way to go), and find an FBO with a 141 program it's still covered by the GI Bill. Quote

zVo Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 But the GI Bill pays for the whole thing if you're pursuing a degree unlike at a FBO... Chances are he has a fraction of his GI Bill due to limited TIS and has to pay a significant percentage of his college bill. Why would he be asking for other methods to pay for college if he has 100% of his tuition covered? Quote
akscott60 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I'd HIGHLY recommend getting a different degree... Why? Let him have a stupid degree like most of us If I did it all over again, I would have chose something fun, like history. Useless? Yes. I am not smart enough for engineering or something. 1 Quote
