Question
I want to know the schools I can apply to, to register for masters to become a pilot, since i have previous experience. Also how can I obtain a scholarship?

Answer
Hi,

Flight programs (programs that contain flight training) are normally NOT masters degrees....they are undergraduate degrees (associate or baccalaureate degrees).  There is an excellent Aviation degree program listing available from the University Aviation Association at www.uaa.aero  The title of the listing is THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION GUIDE.  The cost is about $20 US.  The same organization (same web site) has a COLLEGIATE AVIATION SCHOLARSHIP LISTING available, too....

For aviation scholarships, you can also contact www.avscholars.com

Best wishes,
