Is there government grants for convicted felons that are not minorities?

charlotte234s · Mar 7, 2008, 07:03 PM

For what reason? There aren't any special treatment kind of things that are made to help felons specifically, but if your conviction was not drug-related, it's possible to get grants and financial aid for college.

What small business grants or loans are available for non drug related convicted felons

charlotte234s · Mar 7, 2008, 07:07 PM

I'm not very knowledgeable about small business loans, but I don't know if you can get a grant to start a business unless you have some circumstance like, you were a victim of a hurricane or something.

There are in general no special grants for ex felons, there are various grants for special business, often there is tax breaks if you hire a number of people, There is sometimes grants if you open a business in certain economic depressed areas. Many grants are for specific things. For example you may get a grant for a job training program for excons or something like that. Often you will have to have some level of matching funds for many grants.

Apply for a grant like everyone else. There is no special hand out just because you are a convicted felon. Sorry.
