    Financial aide for convicted felons
    I was convicted of possession of a stolen vehicle and have since became a productive member of society and want to better myself by going to school! Any help would be great!

    From my experience as a convicted felon and a college student, convicted felons still qualify for federal financial aid (dependant on income guidelines) and student loans. I currently have $15,000 in student loans.

    To apply for a Pell grant go to fafsa.ed.gov

    Good luck

    I'm curious though... what about a drug possession charge? I think I read on the FAFSA application that a possessions charge would disqualify you?

    Hello jc:

    Don't ask - don't tell!

    The attempt to punish offenders like this is the most stupid thing my government ever did. Ok, not the stupidist, but right up there.
