The information you provide on the financial aid form will be used to compute how much you and your family are expected to contribute toward your legal education.
Many schools also require copies of annual federal tax returns to verify financial information.
Some require students to complete a supplemental form to be considered for institutional aid. Once the analysis is completed, the school's financial aid officer can determine your eligibility status for law school expenses. A Preliminary Guide , a brochure published by the Law School Admission Council, is available at FSU's Undergraduate Academic Advising Center and at most law school financial aid offices. Contact the financial aid offices at the law schools to which you apply for complete and individualized information on financing your legal education. Their availability is quite limited, and they usually are awarded by the law schools themselves.
