Damn, the SAE has scholorships now?

Ask around in the mechanical or aerospace engineering departments (if USF has an aerospace department) for the locals SAE chapter's contact persons.

An active member or their faculty advisors would be your best bet to give you a lot of information on how to achieve your goals.

Also be careful about them feeding you a line of bullshit. Since colleges are in the business of selling diplomas they may give you a rosier outlook about opportunities in this field than what really exists. After you blow over $20K on your tuition its not their problem if you can't find a job.
