Financial Aid application timeline

[ATORR21]

Hi all,

I plan on attending Law School in the Fall of 2012. Applications will go out in September/October 2011. When should I apply for financial assistance/aid? I want to get the timing down to a science.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Fill out the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1st. Most schools just use that to determine need-based aid (loans). Very few schools give out strictly need-based grants. If your chosen school has a supplemental application fill that out as well.
