    They can apply for most grants and student loans like anyone else.
    They need to talk to the aid department of the school they are going

    Actually convicted felons can get financial aid, including the Pell Grant, as long as they were not convicted of a drug-related felony.

    Just so everyone knows who continues to post on this thread...

    It's now really old and archived, so not generally visible, unless someone happens to vist the forum topic area where it's located, or is notified that there's activity on it because they've already posted on it. Plus, the original posted has not returned to post a response on the thread.

    If you would like for your question, or even comments related to the subject to get the most exposure, please do start a new thread about that.

    Thanks!

    I was convicted of a felony in 2005 at the age of 19 while I was in college. I was paying for my education with financial aid. I was told since I now had a felony I would not be able get approved for financial aid again until my record was expunged or pardoned. After all this time I thought there was no hope for me. I was shocked to find out I was very misinformed. I am now enrolled back in school
