If you qualify for full financial aid, is there a minimum amount of federal loans you have to borrow to receive that aid? I feel like I read this somewhere but I can't seem to find it now. I apologize if this is school-specific, I'm not sure if it is.

At HLS it's $44.3K. It's school-specific and judging by your username my information is not helpful ;)

Actually that is a bit helpful -- you reminded me where I saw the information, on an HLS page when I was researching the school :) I guess I'll need to see if SLS has a similar policy. Thanks!
