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
