  First, congrats!!

  Second, every school is different. Some tell you in your initial acceptance letter, some have a separate application that you fill out after you are accepted. Usually there's information included in the acceptance materials (next steps, etc). If you're not sure, it's ok to e-mail or call admissions and ask (although I might also do a look around the website first to see if there is any information, like references to a separate scholarship application and such).

  Law school admissions offices operate differently, and while one school as a general policy will award the first round of merit scholarships with the admit letter, another may make scholarship decisions separately at a specific later date. When in doubt, you can call the admissions office directly and politely ask if award letters are being sent at a later date.

  Some admissions offices prefer to notify candidates of their acceptance with an official letter by mail, an email, a telephone call, or some combination, and NOT by electronic status checker. It really depends on each individual school's notification policy.

  I was just looking into this for georgetown and one recently admitted student said they received their scholarship info 3 weeks after applying. It varies.

  I've received scholarship information from schools anywhere between a week and a month from when I got the initial acceptance notice. Really just depends on the school and your particular situation. Good luck!
