Hi! I plan on applying to law schools this September for Fall '24 and had some questions about the FAFSA application. The LSAC advises law school applicants: "If you plan on enrolling in law school at the beginning of the fall term, you can apply for federal financial aid using the FAFSA beginning October 1 of the prior calendar year." As the FAFSA 2022-2023 application closes at the end of this month, am I fine to apply for 2023-2024 when it opens up this October 2023? Or am I misunderstanding and should've applied 2022-2023? I'm having a hard time picturing my timeline as financial aid always worries me.

Former admissions officer here. If you plan on applying this fall to matriculate at a law school in August 2024, you can fill out the FAFSA starting in October 2023. Good luck!
