How The Grant Programs Work:  The Grant Programs require the Student to pay a down-payment of an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the estimated total amount for a Commercial Pilot's License (CPL) and the Grant Program will match the amount and pay the balance.  The Grant Program will then pay the hourly rate charged by the Instructor and Flight School for Ground and Flight Instruction and Aircraft Rental to the point of the student earning his/her CPL, CFII, MEI license and ratings.  The hourly rates and other costs and charges are based on a pre-determined hourly rate directly paid to the contracted Flight School, up to a total amount contracted for (260 hours).
