    Grant money for felons
    Does anyone know of any resources that could provide a grant to a convicted felon (no jail time) to go to school to become a paralegal?

    I'm not sure I'm trying to pursue the same question. I do know that in the state of Texas the state will pay 100 percent of college to a felon to get him or her back on the right track. All you have to do is take a test that the state issues you, if you fail the test you get free college to get your life back on track. I don't know where to find this though, t've been looking. If you don't live in tx. Your state might have something like this I just don't know how to find any info. On it but I do know of people that have succussfully used it for college with a felony

    When we get a federal grant and student loan,why does the money go directly to the college and not me.I have to repay the student loan,so should'nt I receive said money at my residence?
