Answer
Hi, Ronal:

Nice to hear from you, I will try to assist!

There is a very good list of aviation-related university and college programs available from the University Aviation Association...it is a publication entitled THE COLLEGIATE AVIATION GUIDE.  Contact the UAA at (334) 844-2434 or by email at uaa@auburn.edu to order this list.

In addition, they have a list of college and university aviation scholarships available to order as well.  Both documents cost about $20.

Also, you can go to this website for information on college aviation and financing college aviation:  

www.AvScholars.com

Finally, a list of aviation pilot training schools is available from Plane and Pilot Magazine at

http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/content/schools/index.htm

I hope that you find this information of assistance to you.
Best wishes in your aviation career search,
