    "If you're a convicted felon looking to set your life straight and get a college degree, there is a way to get financial aid to help you achieve those goals. As long as you have not been convicted of a drug-related felony, federal grants and loans are still available you."

    It would help to know what the conviction was for in order to help you the best here. If you would be willing to provide that information, it would help us to help you the best here. Depending on the type of conviction, a person convicted of certain felonies may not be able to receive certain types of financial aid or grants.

    Thanks!
