Whether you are new to the aviation industry, looking for a career change or if you are already a pilot and would like to add on to existing ratings, the Post 9/11 GI Bill can help.

Note: With the recent changes to the Post 9/11 program, it is still a better program than the old Montgomery GI Bill. In addition NEH is one of the few flight schools still able to offer Sallie Mae, a career as a professional helicopter pilot is certainly attainable.
