Yea, that's pretty much how it works. I instruct at the flight school contracted through Allegheny Community College and I myself went through that program.

The way our Community Colleges work for normal tuition is that the state pays 1/3, the county 1/3 and the student 1/3. Flight training, since it is considered part of tuition costs is subsidized 1/3 by the state. It's a pretty good deal - I received PPL - CFI for around $25k and got a degree in the process.

Beaver is very similar but does not offer the aviation degree, although they do have a great ATC program.
