All US students qualify for federal student loans, regardless of income or other circumstances. You do, however, have to file the FAFSA to qualify for them. You can file FAFSA late and still get federal funds. (I’m not sure if you have to send FAFSA to the schools, whether they would disperse the funds or whether you could get the funds from another governmental agency; you might want to contact the schools to ask how it’s done. Don’t worry; you won’t be the first asking those questions!)

However, please realize that the FAFSA you file for next fall will ask for 2009 information as well as 2008.
