FINANCING & SCHOLARSHIPS

Financing Options

 Worried about how you are going to pay for flight training? Luckily there are several options. Financing all or some of the training can take the burden off of the student, giving them peace of mind and the motivation they need to complete their training!

The biggest blocker to students completing their flight training is financing. CRAFT has partnered with Meritize to offer students 100% financing for all of their ratings! Meritize looks beyond FICO scores and uses your previous academic and military achievements to enhance your credit evaluation and improve your loan options.

• Competitive Interest Rates
• Multiple options for repayment depending on loan amount
• Students can defer payments until they complete their training, and then pay just $150/month for up to 18 months
• Students will only pay on the amount they use
• Applying only requires a soft credit pull

Interested students should contact CRAFT to get pre-enrolled for flight training first.
