    There aren't any school grants, even for people without a record, unless they have a scholarship to send them through. You can enrol in a community college and pay tuition by getting a job.

    There are some grants, such as Pell, you will have to see if your drug conviction makes it possible to still get it. Drug convictions do take away some programs.
