Financing
To start the financing process, ATP recommends that you first apply with SLM Financial for $24,000 towards tuition. Depending on your approval status, additional funding options through SLM and other lenders may become available. You can apply for financing with no obligation to accept a loan or start your flight training with ATP.
SLM Financial has developed a custom financing program for ATP students. This program is available because of ATP students’ excellent track record of completing training and achieving success with airline and corporate pilot jobs. Deferred payment options allow you to make no payments until 18 months after starting training, allowing you to first begin earning income in your new career.
