(CNN) - Changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will mean more grants for students who have children, especially single parents.

The application just opened for 2024.

A lot of things are different about this year's form, including revised formulas to grant eligibility and fewer questions for students to answer.

But one of the most important changes is a higher income cutoff for students who are parents to qualify for the maximum Pell Grant.
