    If you use the AMHD search feature you will find this question has been asked hundreds of times - there are no specific grants for felons.

    He needs to apply just like everyone else.

    If this is a drug crime many will not be available, but the college he plans on going to, should have a department to help find the money

    Hi, langsyneguy!

    I have heard something about the possibility of grants and scholarships being available through FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for those who have been convicted of a felony. However, it would depend on what the conviction was for and an applicant's compliance with certain stipulations in order to be eligible. For more information, please visit FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid There is another site that might be worth checking out, but I'm not very familiar with it. Here is the link to it. FastWeb: Scholarships, Financial Aid and Colleges

    Once a person has done their time; been on probation or parole, basically paid their debt to society, then they are free to apply for monies just like anyone else does in the form of loans or financial aid from educational institutions, banks, municipalities and others.

    But, like I said above earlier, in order to be eligible for grants or scholarships from certain programs that are designed to help those who have been convicted of a felony, then it might depend on what the conviction was for and that certain conditions must be met.

    Thanks!
