Now Accepting GI Bill® Benefits
We're proud to share that we now accept GI Bill® benefits for pilot training. If you're a Veteran, service member, or eligible dependent, your VA education benefits may help cover approved training costs as you work toward you aviation goals.
If you have questions about eligibility, required documentation, or how to get started, reach out to our team - we'll help you navigate the next steps and connect you with the right resources.
GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
Arapahoe Flight Club has recently partnered with Stratus Financial to assist our students with their flight training goals.
We recommend having your finances in order before you start training. You'll have fewer distractions and stressors while you are learning, and there's nothing worse than having to stop and re-start your training due to financial constraints - you'll lose valuable skills and it will end up costing you more money in the long run!
