Flight Education Access Act
This bill increases federal student loan limits for students enrolled in eligible flight education programs, with specific annual and aggregate limits based on whether students are dependent or independent and their progress through the program. It requires institutions to collect and report data on program completion rates and establishes a new grant program to support partnerships between educational institutions and workforce partners to expand access to flight training, particularly for underrepresented populations. The grants will fund scholarships, outreach to schools, and startup support for aviation programs at minority-serving institutions. The bill also includes reporting requirements for the Department of Education and a GAO review to assess implementation.
