I was convicted of possession of a stolen vehicle and have since became a productive member of society and want to better myself by going to school! Any help would be great!

Yes, basicly you pick the school and the major, then go though thier finicial aid department to try and find funding. There is no speical funding, but there are alot of toher regular fundng everyone can qualify for

From my experience as a convicted felon and a college student, convicted felons still qualify for federal financial aid (dependant on income guidelines) and student loans. I currently have $15,000 in student loans.

To apply for a Pell grant go to fafsa.ed.gov

Good luck

I'm curious though...what about a drug possession charge? I think I read on the FAFSA application that a possessions charge would disqualify you?

Hello jc:

Don't ask - don't tell!

The attempt to punish offenders like this is the most stupid thing my government ever did. Ok, not the stupidist, but right up there.
