There are scholarships. Not necessarily ones that by themselves can pay for all training though. Some are general, some are in fact towards a flying career. I met father and son at a convention just a couple weeks ago where the son had won a few thousand dollars towards flight training as a scholarship. In general, scholarships are for exceptional students, either by way of their achievements and how they would be great asset to the industry based on their past performance, or in exceptional situations where they've shown they can overcome adversity and hardships and rise above them, like inner city minority kid with no money, but exceptional grades. These scholarships are offered by private organizations, so they choose who gets them. Before one goes down the road of how they can't get this money, or their parents didn't push them hard enough, blah blah, life is not fair.
