My grandson (HS junior) is interested in aviation. If he doesn't want to go in the military, what is the best (or at least a very good, full flight-training school)? A college degree would be nice, but not necessary.

No DUI's, non-aviation college degree, flight school selection in that order.
Sorry... I've got to laugh a bit at this, not because you are wrong, but because how screwed up our society is about drinking. The very fact that people would have to list DUIs as a disqualifying factor is disgusting. How about no murder charges? How about, don't rape anybody? How about not get convicted for tax evasion?
Eh. Nevermind. Off soapbox.
EDIT: And I'm not calling you out on saying that at all because it is very true. I'm just sad that it is true.
Why doesn't he want to be in the military?
From a civilian guy, I'd recommend going into the military.
No guarantee you will get a flight slot.
Correct.No guarantee you will get a flight slot.
That's only true if he does rotc or goes to a service academy.
Correct.
But I do guarantee you'll make more money, and have more financial aid options available for flight training.
I know a C-5 Aircraft Commander applying at regionals to get more flight time.
