Utah Valley University (UVU) -- Performance Helicopters, LLC is affiliated with UVU’s Aviation Degree Program, this means you are able to earn a two- or four-year degree while learning to fly with Performance Helicopters, LLC. You will attend classes online while attending flight and ground school with us. Your workload will be increased, but if a degree is a part of your goal and/or you are having trouble financing, UVU may be right for you with great financing rates because of the college affiliation. The best part is UVU’s financial assistance program. You can apply online for financial aid (and scholarships) at

www.uvu.edu/aviation/

or by calling (888) 901-7192.  

 

UVU does offer financial aid to students but only to those who are seeking  a degree in aviation. In order to receive any financial aid from the school the student will need to make academic progress, which means taking at least 6 credit hours per semester.  If you are not making progress, you will not be able to receive financial assistance.

 

Utah Valley University (UVU) offers an Aviation Science Professional Pilot Degree (A.A., A.A.S., and B.S.), through traditional on-campus academic course work, as well as through distance learning academic course.  One of the goals is to prepare students to become qualified as professional pilots by providing the academic course work component to students through distance learning technology. The degree requires each student to obtain various Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) certificates as they progress through the course work, which in turn requires the student to obtain in-air flight proficiencies. UVU does not provide students enrolled with the necessary flight time to obtain the in-air flight proficiencies required to qualify for the various FAA certificates. Instead UVU allows the student to obtain those proficiencies and FAA certificates on his/her own.

 

However, UVU does require its students that are enrolled to obtain the necessary

FAA certificates from a flight school that meets certain survey criteria.

 

1. The flight school must either be FAA 141 Certified or FAA 61 Certified with aircraft on the flight school’s schedule that meet current FAA requirements for 100 hour inspections and annual inspections, which Performance Helicopters, LLC meets.
