Hey Jetgirl,
There are a few scholarships that you can apply for funding for a PPL, hours or even a full ATPL. I have copied a few links below for you to look at.

I would also highly recommend the Clive Hughes book 'Guide to becoming a Professional pilot' too. This book provides an insight into the different routes to the front. In the long run you will save more money than the cost of the book, so for approx £25 its a bargain. Below is a link to his website:

I have copied another link below for you. This is BALPA (British Airline Pilots Assoc,) and they have a host of info on becoming a professional pilot.

Hope this helps
