There is no single set deadline for Graduate Stafford Loan application. You should contact your school's financial aid office for specific deadlines for your institution.

There are, however, deadlines for the FAFSA financial aid application, both at the state and federal levels. In order to qualify for a graduate Stafford loan, you must complete your FAFSA application first.

The FAFSA federal deadline is June 30 of each calendar year for the subsequent academic year. For example, the FAFSA federal deadline for the 2009-2010 academic year is June 30, 2010.
