Question What options do I have?

Hi,
I will be finishing yr 12 this year and I want to go into aviation next year to become a Pilot. At the moment my dreams are hanging with the air force, but as the RAAF is only small I can be waiting 2+ years for a position, so unless theres something soon that rules that out for now.
I was thinking about the Swinburne Bachelor of Aviation at Oxford but I was a little concerned with the course cost (just over $112,000) and I was wondering what are my other options. I did some research and asked some of my flying buddies and they said if I was able to do it self funded thats the better way and i'll save almost half of the Swinburne course cost.

Is there anyway to get fee-help to cover the costs of aviation (GFPT, PPL, CPL etc etc) if I do my flying at RVAC or at MFT? What other options do I have? Is there any kind of special loans or something for a situation like this?
if someones was in a similar situation it would be great to hear how you got into aviation
