I am a 22 year old male. That has been out of jail for a couple of mounths now.. I was woundering is there any way I can get financial aid to go to school, even though I am a fellion?

Hi, steve-o1!

First, please do check with the institution that you want to attend to see about any financial aid they might have available.

I have heard something about the possibility of money being available through FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for those who have been convicted of a felony. However, it would depend on what the conviction was for and an applicant's compliance with certain stipulations in order to be eligible. For more information, please visit FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid

Once a person has done their time and been on probation or parole, and basically paid their debt to society, then they are free to apply for monies just like anyone else does in the form of loans or financial aid from educational institutions, banks, municipalities and others.

But, like I said above earlier, in order to be eligible for money from certain programs that are designed to help those who have been convicted of a felony, then it might depend on what the conviction was for and that certain conditions must be met.

Thanks!
