A clearer route to your training budget

Fund the journey thoughtfully.

Start with a training estimate you understand. Then compare what you can pay as you go, any scholarship support and the terms of financing you may be considering.

Explore your next steps

First, confirm the options available through ITP.

The school’s public FAQ says it is re-evaluating its funding solutions. Call 214.817.1055 to confirm current providers, eligible programs and the correct application route. A conversation about training is separate from a lender’s decision.

01

1 / Define what you need to fund

Break the training into stages. Include the costs outside flight lessons and consider what changes if you need more time or additional hours.

  • Current written training estimate
  • Savings and confirmed awards available
  • Any amount still to be funded
02

2 / Compare written terms

Ask each provider for the complete terms for your situation. Compare the overall obligation as well as whether the payments fit your budget.

  • APR, interest rate and fees
  • Fixed or variable rate
  • When interest and payments begin
  • Length of repayment and total repaid
03

3 / Understand a change of plan

Training can take longer than expected. Learn what happens if you pause, change programs or stop, before signing.

  • How funds reach the school
  • Unused funds and refund handling
  • Cosigner responsibilities
  • Hardship, late-payment and early-payment terms

Questions worth asking

A clearer view
before you begin.

Can I apply for a loan on this website?

No. Confirm the current provider and approved application route directly with ITP. Do not enter financial, identity-document or credit information into the school inquiry form.

Will my application be approved?

Only the provider can determine eligibility and offer terms. A school inquiry, training plan or website submission is not approval.

Can I finance a first certificate or an additional rating?

Ask whether your exact program, training school and intended use of funds qualify. Provider rules can differ; do not assume all flight training is covered.

Is a smaller monthly payment always cheaper?

Compare the repayment length, interest, fees and total amount repaid alongside the monthly payment. Ask the provider to explain the differences in writing.

Does the school offer federal student aid or veterans’ funding?

Do not assume that a flight program qualifies. Ask the school and the relevant program administrator to confirm the specific school, course and eligibility before including any benefit in your budget.
