Should I Go Part 141 Vocational or Part 141 Collegiate?

With Vocational use of your Post 9/11 GI Bill®, you will receive much lower yearly funding that will not be enough to cover most of your flight training requirements. Going Part 141 Collegiate will almost triple the value of your Post 9/11 GI Bill®. Learn more regarding the difference between these two versions.

Low or Exhausted GI Bill® Benefits?

Don’t worry, we have a solution! US Aviation Academy’s Service Members and Military Veterans Program are in association with a Collegiate Program and the earned Bachelor’s Degree in Aviation is considered a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) field degree. Since it is a STEM field degree, you may qualify for a 9-month, $30,000 STEM extension using the Edith Norse Rogers STEM Scholarship.

Montgomery GI Bill® Flight Training Benefits (MGIB-AD)

Montgomery GI Bill® Veteran Benefits is also an option but it is limited as to what is cover and who is eligible. You have 10 years to use these benefits, which gives you 36 months (8 semesters) of funding, no supply stipend, no housing and no yellow ribbon. It is highly recommended, for flight training, to convert your Montgomery GI Bill® to a Post 9/11 GI Bill® for these additional funding sources.
