Hello everyone , I just moved permanently to USA almost 2 months ago and being a pilot has been a dream of mine for a long time and I have been looking at aviation schools in USA and I was wondering if there is anyway I can be qualified for a student loan ? If I can save up money in about 6 months for a down payment is there a chance that I can get qualified?or should I just work on my credit score for a while ?
Thank you
Dagimawit,
Loans for flight training are not easy to get. They’re unsecured and therefore require a very strong credit score and often a co-signer. You should also know to do flight training in the US you need a very thorough background check.

My husband can be my co signer and I also don’t mind the background check so what do you advise me should I work on building my credit score ? How many years of credit history do they usually require? Thank you
Dagimawit,
You’d really need to call ATP and speak with Kirk in finance as everyone’s situation is different.

Further it’s but a question of “minding” the background check, it must be done by law.

Okay thanks
