International Students

SEVIS Program 

         Austin Academy of Aviation is proud of our relationship with Sevis and the International Student Visa program for aviation training in the U.S.. We have trained pilots from such countries as Indonesia, Germany, and India to name a few. Our facilities are state of the art and our program is designed to build confidence as well as knowledge and skill. We are not a pilot mill and therefore do not have a set program cost. Each individual is different with various abilities. Our instructors work one on one with each student to develop their personal achievements along a course outline proven to reach above standard outcomes. Skill and proficiency are primary for advancement through the various ratings offered here at AAoA whether you just want a Private Pilot Certificate or your ATP and instructor ratings.

          There is a non-refundable upfront processing fee of $250.00 required by Austin Academy of Aviation. This is separate from the I-901 fee and TSA fees required by the government. Additionally, we will require a refundable deposit of $2500.00 for training and living expenses prior to issuing the I-20. These funds must be transferred either by electronic means or by Money Order or Certified Check. Availability of funds in our account is required before the I-20 application can be sent.
