Appreciate it. . .

I figured that's how it might work, student fronts the cost, then gets re-imbursed. . . in classic fashion.

When I take out a loan to finish up my PPL, should I take out a loan to just finish up the PPL, and then take out another loan for everything else that is needed, since the VA requires that one have their PPL before they can take advantage of these benefits?

If I end up moving back to Georgia for flight training, since I graduated HS in the state, I qualify for state HOPE scholarship. So I would use the HOPE scholarship to pay for my BS or BA in something silly, and take advantage of the VA benefits for my flight training, make sense?
