    Your not screwed you just have to researach it. I'm doing the same now. In the state of Texas the state will pay 100 percent of college for you if you are a felon to "get felons on the right track of life" all you have to do is take a test and fail it. I can not find info. On this though. I know it exsists I just am having trouble finding the info. And if you don't live in Texas I'm sure other states have programs just like it.
