"Hi, my name is Brooke Kramer, and I'm the Financial Aid Officer at Argosy University in Salt Lake City, and today we're going to talk about where does financial aid come from? And financial aid comes from a variety of places. The most common place is provided by the government, though, and that is from the Department of Education. And in order to qualify for this type of aid, you would have to complete a free application for federal student aid, which you can find at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Once you complete the fafsa, your school will notify you what awards you are entitled to. Along with federal aid, there are also scholarships available through different types of organizations. Mainly the school you are attending normally have scholarships available to you, as well as different organizations outside in the community. If you have any other questions, please feel free to check out our website at www.argosy.edu."
