Hello, I'm trying to find a new flight school and I am just really not sure which one to go to...  I am looking to go to a somewhat bigger flight school which is well known to most of the bigger companies.  Can I get grants to go to a flight school?  On a lighter note, I found a few smaller schools nearby, but I wasn't really sure which one I was wanting to go to.  I can't take out a loan so therefore I am only making $200 a week.  I'm having issues with all this stuff called money lol.  Is there a way I can get a grant (federal or state)?  Anyways, here are a few part 61 flight schools I have found in my area (which could probably start me out before going to an actual flight school).

1) Hendricks County Aviation - http://www.flyhca.com
2) Indianapolis Aviation - http://www.indianapolisaviation.com
3) Eagle Creek Flight Academy - http://www.flyeaglecreek.com

I am slightly leaning towards Indianapolis Aviation -- Yes, it may be an hour away but I would get to learn the traditional method of navigation rather than using a glass cockpit plane that Hendricks County has.  Then again, gas is so expensive maybe I should just go with the glass cockpit, plus get the endorsement to fly an advanced aircraft?  Please give your opinions..

Thanks

You never know how much you may end up loving to fly! If, say someday down the road, you want to buy a plane...if you are getting single engine, it may not be the "glass cockpit" type.  Also, what if you wanted to take your family on a flight, or weekend vacation or something...also, going to be much harder to find a glass cockpit plane vs regular.
