Applying for federal student loans for spring semester?

[lsgchas]

I'm planning to start graduate school in January and need a Stafford loan to pay for it. I recently read that the deadline for the 2012-2013 FAFSA in my state was in June. . Is it possible that there was such an early deadline, even for the spring semester? Hopefully a merciful soul will come along and tell me there is another deadline for the spring. Otherwise I will need to seriously rethink how I will pay for school.

Never mind. I should have done more research before asking. The deadline was for state aid, which in my poor, conservative state is probably next to nill anyway. Federal aid has no deadline.
