Hi, Orok:

Thank you for your question, I will try to assist!

First of all, the institutions that offer aviation flight training/commercial piloting in the USA are listed in a publication entitled THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION GUIDE.  This publication is available from the University Aviation Association at www.uaa.aero

Some of the institutions that you might check into that offer aviation flight include:

Auburn University
Arizona State University
The Ohio State University
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University
Western Michigan University
Purdue University
Southern Illinois University Carbondale
Middle Tennessee State University
Parks College of St. Louis University
University of North Dakota

As far as scholarships for aviation, check the following websites for more information:

University Aviation Association at www.uaa.aero has a "Scholarships" link on the left hand side of the main page of the website.  This website includes THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION SCHOLARSHIP LISTING.

Also, check into www.avscholars.com   It has aviation financial aid and scholarship information.

Best wishes to you!
