The amount of money you are awarded through financial aid really depends on whether or not your program considers your status as graduate/professional or undergraduate. For ex. I know UT and UH consider their students to be undergrad for their first 2 years so that puts a big cap on how much financial aid you will receive in government loans. If you already maxed out on your undergrad loans, I think you are in a bind (correct me if I am wrong). Texas Tech considers their students grad/professional students starting from the first year, so pretty much all yearly expenses are covered through government loans (I would guess that on average people receive $30,000 per school year).
If I were you I would inquire as to what your status will be for the first year for FAFSA purposes.
