There are no scholarships at the moment but GAPAN have an annual selection I think there's one for ATPL training.
Did he get his C130 in military overseas? why did he just do a CPL or is this from another country or USA? He should convert to JAR if he wants to fly in Europe. The ground school for ATPL exams distance learning is about £1000 check out CATS at Luton/Cranfield.
CPL/IR conversions vary in price depending on ability but will need at least 20hrs of flying.
There are very few jobs he can do with just a CPL. It is called 'Aerial work'
Banner towing, parachute dropping, cropspraying, pleasure flights and instructin if he also gets an instructor rating.
he will also need ICAO level 4 English profficiency.
Good luck!
