They havefigured out how to use exatly the amount you willrecieve in a Pell grant for tuition. That leaves the flight funding up to you through the federal loans, which, by the way, are loans you get on your own from a bank and the fed guarantees it. I was required to enroll in classes before they would tell me anything as far as how much of my Pel they would require and how much 'other' federal assistance would be allowed. After figuring out that it was not a smart financial decision, i dropped all of my classes, 2 weeks before the semester started. That was two years ago and they are still trying to bill me for some of those dropped classes. UVU is a horrible avenue to approach.

At over $200,000 for 4 years of tuition, room & board and flight training fees, you cannot get more than about half of that in undergraduate tuition assistance. I also happen to have graduated from there and my degree hasn't given me any edge at all over the competetion and their training turns out to have been no better than anywhere else. Overpriced and over-inflated reputation. Be smart and save your money, I cannot recommend ERAU, particularly one of the “professional pilot” programs.

UVU puts a lot of restrictions though, like you can only receive so much flight training per semester (to reduce early dropouts upon completion of flight training), and ERAU is much more flexible with it. This is something that they do not advertise, but is available. Good luck and happy new year.
