Why in the world would the government give a convicted felon a grant?
jcjctj (Jan 27, 2008 11:11 PM): I agree...mean and hateful. Must be nice to be so perfect, never make mistakes and feel entitled to judge others.   Source:
motivated (Oct 22, 2008 12:16 PM): Because maybe their trying to change their lives...this is exactly why the repeat offender rate is at such a high percentage because of judgemental jerks like you!!!!!   Source:

I would honestly call your local college and ask to speak with an advisor. I am currently doing that same thing for my husband Also -- do a google search for "Felon Benefits" or "Felon Grants" I have a found a few things by doing that.

And Slowandeasy -- why wouldn't they? It is very sad that you would have that opinion - not all felons are as bad as you think, and there are more people out there that are felons than you think also -- you would be shocked to find out how many people that you know and deal with on a regular basis are felons. You don't have to be a rapist or a murderer to obtain a felony conviction.

Hello Jbougie

I understand what you are saying,I am just saying that grants are not easy to get, that's all I know that grants are out there but it can be a trying process, Yes I know not all convicted felons are murders and such, I quess what I was trying to say was in this day and time it may not be easy. Sorry if I offended anyone

There are really no special grants for felons ( except for some programs on job training though various charities) they can apply to all of the regular grants and loans that everyone else can. The person needs to go to the school they planon attending and check with finicial aids

Hello:

exconvicts aren't real popular these days. The government is trying to do them bad - not good. That doesn't mean they're not WORTHY of help. They are, but that's not what's happening these days.

However, the tide is changing.

Why is it when people make a mistake and become a felon they are never forgiven. Do your time finish probation and then what? You can't vote, you can't live anywhere except with other felons, you must settle for a job. So we don't ever stop paying our debt to society. You all say rehabilitate yet you want to condemn. Think about it take a tiger out of the jungle cage him up and throw him back in the jungle & what happens........ He goes back to being a tiger! You disgust me. Sometimes smart people make dumb mistakes and get caught. Like you are so perfect that you have not made a mistake or perhaps you just never got caught.
WALK A MILE IN someone's SHOES BEFORE YOU JUDGE THEM for when you have you will not be so quick to be heartless!
