You could look at Purdue. They have a very good aviation program and Frontier has a deal with them... they are hiring CFIs at Frontier from Purdue with only1500 hours. It’s definitely something to consider... knocks out degree and skips the regional. If I were starting today, this would be a definite consideration.
Also, he could go to Purdue, apply for an ROTC scholarship (Army, AF, or Navy available there) and have his school mostly paid for. AF ROTC on a Guaranteed Air National Guard scholarship and he likely can fly in the Air Guard as well...
Many options.
