What Questions to Ask Financial Aid Professionals

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Brooke Kramer and I'm a financial aid officer at Argosy University in Salt Lake City and today we're going to talk about questions to ask your financial aid professional. The first question of course would be how do I start the process of applying to financial aid. That's a very good question 'cause usually there is a lot of steps involved and usually they're different from school to school, so you're going to definitely want to know what you need to do specifically for the university you're going to be attending. Another question to be is what are going to be my costs for each semester once you graduate and also for the total costs of the program. You definitely want to be as knowledgeable as you can before you start a program so you're not surprised at any costs that make accrue while you're in school. It's also good to know what your repayments are going to be once you graduate so you can make the appropriate measures to make sure you have enough to pay for your student loans once you graduate. Another great question to ask your officer is what types of free aid are available. The great thing about free aid is that it's usually free money that you can use towards your education and you don't have to pay back. So the more free aid you have the less you have to pay back once you graduate from school. If you have any other questions please feel free to check out our website at www.argosy.edu."
