    Financial Assistance for Rehabilitated Criminals
    Hi,
    My name is Mike and I am a 28 yr old Rehabilitated Felon. I am trying to go to school for Microsoft IT, through the ComputerTraining.com. It is really hard to find a job around where I live, especially being a Felon. So I decided fixing my life and learning from my wrongs was the best thing for me. The questions that now face me are how do I pay for my training. I would like to know if there is any kind of special grants and loans that I can receive for funding my schooling. I live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA. I know some grants and loans are state and county funded so maybe that may help you in finding an answer for me.

    Thank You
    Mike

    You have the rights to student loans, or grants just like anyone else does.

    And you can work a job while going to school to pay for it.
    The school where you are taking the training should have a finicial aid office that will know of a lot of the money avialable.

    TY Chuck but I found what I was looking for the place is called "Office of Vocational Rehabilitation" OVR for short! Although they can't help me with the program I am going through, they might be able to help someone else. The number I got for them is (800) 442.0949
