 Changes Impacting the 2017–18 FAFSA®

The FAFSA® is the application that students must complete to apply for federal student aid, which can be used to attend an eligible college or career school. Federal student aid includes Federal Pell Grants, federal student loans, and work-study opportunities. In addition to determining eligibility for federal student aid, many states, private organizations, colleges, and career schools rely on information from the FAFSA to determine eligibility for nonfederal sources of aid.


Two major changes to the FAFSA will take effect for the 2017–18 school year. (The 2017–18 school year runs from July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018.)


1. The FAFSA will be available earlier (October 1 of the previous year instead of January 1 of the upcoming school year).


2. The FAFSA will collect income information from an earlier tax year.
