My niece's dad has worked for a university (UNC in Greeley, CO) long enough that his kids get free tuition. She's a bit of a wiz-kid and already has an associates in finance at 18y/o. She's only done a discovery flight and loved it and wants to do everything she can to get a seniority # asap without going into Riddle levels of debt. She's open to relocating anywhere to find the best program at the best price.

Options as I see them:
1) Keep getting more degrees for free (non-aviation related): BA, Master etc for free while driving down to KBJC and doing McAir or Western's 141 program and then instruct with them until 1,500hrs.

2) Transfer to a university with an aviation program and hopefully be able to cut off a year bc of all of the existing associates to get the 1,000hr restricted APT.

3) Go military for 3 years to get the GI Bill then go a pricey school like Riddle

4) Find an online accredited aviation university that has a partnership with any Denver/Greeley/Ft Collins flight school and get a restricted ATP that way

5) Something else I'm not thinking of that you'd recommend

Thanks for the help!
