FAAST Seminar

Welcome back from yesterday's seminar here at the IAA hangar. Most of you were not informed about this seminar because it was a targeted CFI training seminar and would not have applied. We would like to thank the CFI's who did attend and hope to see you at future seminars in the coming months. Keep posted for details on both the FAA website and our website, under the News and Events section. (follow link).

Feel free to leave comments, or share ideas about the seminar last evening and what you would like to see, discuss or review at the next seminar.

Cheers

Financial Assistance for school

As most of you knnow, we at IAA have been working tirelessly to find ways of providing a financial solution to your Aviation needs. Currently, we are still waiting on the Illinois State Board of Education to work on our Application for Vocational status which would enable students to apply for Sallie Mae funds and Illinois Education Assistance programs, scholarships and grants.

However we have not been able to get in touch with ISBE from March 2009 when we submitted our application and until we know either way, our hands are tied. We do want you to know though, that we are working on getting this application through and restoring your ability to receive financial aid towards your Flight training.

We welcome any and all ideas that may help our students especially those in the career programs, to make wise and informed decisions towards their Aviation education. Feel free to ask questions, share ideas and make comments about this and any other aviation related venture on our blog, its what we are here for.

Regards
