I am still looking into starting out......
Are there any flying scholarships out there? This is a really, really, expensive field and hind sight, I wish I would have spent my $30,000 or so college money toward flying instead. I'm still paying off that student loan and don't want to get another loan....but I might not have a choice =(
There are actually a good amount of scholarships or grants to help you out. You have to realize you may be filling out a billion applications for them b/c they can be valued from $100 to a few thousand. Check out Women in Aviation, the Ninety-nines, and AOPA. They are where you need to start. Good luck!!
