If you have been convicted of a drug-related felony, then you are unable to receive aid for 2 years after the conviction; after that, you are eligible again.

You may be permanently denied financial aid if you have been convicted 2 times for selling, and 3 times for possession.

Do not be afraid to apply to college- the worst they can say is no!

Does a felony affect financial aid?

The only possible to bar to receiving federal financial aid is if you were convicted of a felony drug charge (possession or sales) WHILE receiving financial aid. Any other felonies, or any drug felonies that did not occur while you were receiving financial aid will not prevent you from receiving federal financial aid. If you were convicted of a drug felony while previously receiving federal financial aid, then you must have completed a drug rehabilitation program in order to restore your eligibility.
