Elizabeth Hoyt. On September 14, 2015, President Obama announced some significant changes to the FAFSA – that’s the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which will begin starting as of 2017-2018.

For example, when filling out the 2017-2018 FAFSA, students and their families will be able to report 2015 tax income information, rather than having to wait for 2016 information.

However, residents of any state can still file a FAFSA after their state deadline to apply for federal aid. To learn filing deadlines for college-sponsored aid, speak to the financial aid administrator at the college you wish to attend.

In order to receive state aid, however, your FAFSA deadlines can vary depending on where you live and what kind of aid you're hoping to receive. State FAFSA deadlines range from Feb. 15 in Connecticut to 30 days after the fall semester begins in Minnesota.

Again, this will NOT impact the 2016-2017 FAFSA (available this January). According to the Post-Gazette, President Obama announced the changes at North High School in Des Moines, Iowa.

To understand the FAFSA deadline for your state, refer to the FAFSA deadlines Web site or check with your school's financial aid office [source: US Department of Education ]. It's important for students to understand the difference between state and federal deadlines. As long as your FAFSA is submitted by the federal deadline of June 30, you may be qualified to receive federal loans, grants and other financial aid. If you miss your state's deadline, you will still qualify for federal aid, but not for state-funded aid programs. Many colleges also have their own deadlines in place, which affect how college aid funds are distributed. Some colleges require the FAFSA to be submitted by March 1, for example.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) may be used to apply for state grants and loans, not just federal student aid. Each state has its own deadlines for the FAFSA. State FAFSA deadlines may be earlier than the federal deadlines. Some states have very early deadlines. Two states have deadlines in February, ten states have deadlines in March and seven states award state student aid on a first-come, first-served basis until the money runs out.

• Submit a FAFSA Earlier Under the current FAFSA, students must wait until January 1 for the release of the form. The new change will allow for an earlier submission date, allow students to file a 2017-2018 FAFSA as early as October 1 (starting in 2016), which will be a permanent change.
