About us
Stratus Financial is committed to providing student loans to aspiring student pilots at all levels of experience and training. Founded in 2020 by FAA Certified Flight and Ground Instructors who are passionate about helping others achieve their dreams of flight. Since then, Stratus is fully geared to marry Student Success with School Success with several programs designed for Flight Schools, by Flight Schools. Your Aviation Dream Starts Here As a company, we look beyond the typical FICO scores and look at each individual as a whole aviator. We offer exceptional lending packages including the best rates aviators get from zero to hero - to help fully finance the entire flight training and more. We also work hand-in-hand with flight schools to develop lending products that made sense for them to achieve their goals and their students' goals. Other than that, Stratus connects students with professionals in the industry, providing mentorship, guidance, and a "wing up" to the next level (commercial, airline, or otherwise). As aviators ourselves, we truly understand what it's like to dream. That is why Stratus is here on a mission to help you fund your education AND your future. Let's get more aspiring pilots to get to the pilot's seat as swiftly as possible. www.stratus.finance
