Does anyone know of any programs or grants that help black woman go to or pay for flight school to become a commercial pilot? I have wanted to become a pilot for sometime, however I’m currently unemployed and just trying to figure out a way to pay for school. I don’t want to take out a loan as I currently still owe student loans for my undergrad degree. I’m based in NYC and open to traveling up to an hour if I have too. Any programs you all may know of would be great. Thank you.

Great inquiry. I too wanted to become a pilot.

I lost touch with one of my friends whose wife was a pilot for American.

I would go find a current pilot and ask the women if they could support you in your journey.

Check out Verizon business grants. It covers 10k I believe if you take a few digital courses. Im not sure if it’s business only. You prob can google or look at some education grants tailored to minorities. Most you just write a tailored composition on your why. Good luck this sounds awesome! 🥰
