Don't talk about what you don't know lmao! There's a lot for grants out there for felons to better themselves, both for school and for small business... don't be [an idiot] when you don't know what you're talking about... as to the answer try checking out grants.gov and look for a grant that fits you. Apply to many not just one, this is the key to becoming successful.

"Importance of Looking for Non-Government Grants
Convicts are allowed to obtain business licenses and manage a company. However, there are no government grants set up to help felons start their own business. Felons should invest their time finding private funding opportunities for their businesses. The Small Business Administration (SBA) claims that felons are treated the same as other citizens, and government grants are not established expressly for helping them."
