    Felon Trying To Receive Financial Aid For Higher Education


    I am an ex-felon. And I really mean EX-felon. I am desperate to put my life back together and can't seem to find any information about how to go about getting grants and/or loans in order to go back to school (college).

    Please don't be put off. I am not a violent person. I have no sex-related offense. I was convicted of a drug crime.


    I want so bad to be able to be a productive citizen again but it seems like everywhere I turn I can get no help.

    Thank You

    Most federal money for college is banned from receiving money if they did drug crimes in fact you may have more luck if it was a violent crime or a sex crime to get federal money.

    But you want to go and work with the schools finical aid department
