Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Brooke Kramer and I am the financial aid officer at Argosy University in Salt Lake City and I'm going to answer for you today how do you get a student loan with no job. Most federal loans and federal aid in general, you are not required to be employed in order to receive loans, grants or even scholarships. So the first thing you're going to want to do though to qualify for these is to complete a free application for federal student aid. And you're going to go to www.fafsa.ed.gov in order to complete this application. You will need your most recent tax returns as well as your parent's if you are a dependent student. Once you complete this application, your university should send you an award letter stating what you have been awarded in student loans as well as grants. If you're interested in scholarships, you can do so by visiting your university and seeing what scholarships are available to you, otherwise you can also do a search on the Internet for scholarships available. If you have any other questions, please feel free to check out our website at www.argosy.edu."
