I think you need to go and do some research and speak to some careers advisors, FTOs, pilots etc.

You should look into (the first step of this career path is taking initiative!),
Air Cadets
Voluntary Gliding Schools
Duke of Edinburgh Award
Royal Aeronautical Society Careers Service - so you want to be a pilot 2006 booklet and 'everything aerospace' magazine
Air League Flying scholarships for 17-24yr olds
GAPAN Scholarships
GAP year organisations: World Challenge Expeditions, Operation Rayleigh etc
For Universitites look into UCAS & University Air Squadrons

One of the most important things is to be prepared and not to walk into this blind! 80K+ is a massive investment. If it means having to go to university or having to work for a few years to raise funds, or to achieve your best grades at school; then thats what you might have to do.
