Full Scholarship
Generously funded by private and corporate donations
At 17 years old, all students who have passed their Private Pilot License written exam can apply to participate in a bootcamp over summer break to complete the requirements to fly solo, complete the remaining flight hour requirements, and take their oral and practical exam in order to complete their Private Pilot License. Only our most motivated students will be accepted into this program, and the training is full-time.
Students who are not accepted to participate in this program may choose to continue the Saturday classes under an extended Tier 3 enrollment, or have the option to begin paying for one-on-one lessons with a dedicated instructor and discounted aircraft rentals through our Aero Club to work through their Private Pilot's License at their own pace.
(Scholarships Available Upon Request)

After our students begin working, they are considered Alumni. This includes any students placed in corporate accelerator training programs or working and building time as CFIs. Alumni can avoid their annual fees by returning to Fly Compton as volunteers and mentors to the groups of students following in their footsteps.
