Transcripts should be sent from each school you attended previously regardless of whether you received financial aid while you were there. The law schools to which you apply will determine your eligibility for federal financial aid. The amount offered by each law school will vary, and each student's individual need will be assessed individually because the cost of attending each law school varies. If you have been found eligible for the federal loan programs, complete the appropriate loan applications available from the law school financial aid office. Call or write the financial aid office of the law schools you plan to attend.
Many schools have very early filing deadlines.
You should arrange for financial aid transcripts to be sent from any undergraduate or graduate school you attended to any law school to which you apply. This may or may not be reequired by the law for institutional aid. Complete the loan applications. You will benefit by planning a financial strategy before you even enter law school. Save as much money as you can, and try to rid yourself of any outstanding consumer debt.
