Not anything new in this article about Forces To Flyers, but at the bottom is a link to sign up to receive updates if interested. Look for this at the end:

"Sign up here [Email links icon] to receive updates regarding the Forces to Flyers research initiative."

A bit more info on this program. It appears similar to the GI Bill but the quote below adds details but not enough to fully understand the criteria for entry:

"Aviation analyst Bob Mann of R.W. Mann & Co. expressed skepticism about Forces to Flyers, noting that veterans can already get paid flight training under the GI Bill. This year, veterans can receive up to $13,000 under the Post-9/11 GI Bill to attend a vocational flight school.

In a statement, a DOT spokesman said that the department anticipates that the program will cover training costs beyond what is offered by the GI Bill."
