Yes, you may apply for financial aid even if you are are convicted felon. If the financial aid application asks you a question in regards to this issue, just answer honestly. They will ask you if you have been convicted for the sale of drugs, or for possession of drugs while on financial aid. If this is true, you would not be eligible for aid. Please note, it says while you were on financial aid. So, if you were convicted before or after you received aid, or you never applied for financial aid before, then your OK. Go figure! Anyway, other than that it looks like your good to go. Best wishes!!

Can a convicted felon bow hunt in South Carolina?

No, a convicted felon cannot participate in any activity involving a gun. Convicted Felons do not have the right to bear arms. Nor can they vote, or run for office. It is also hard for them to find a well paid job. Most employers will not hire convicted felons. !st, a bow is not a gun. 2nd, a convicted felon CAN vote, once they are off paper, (released from all supervision) Don't know about running for office... seems they would fit right in though. 3rd, there are well paying jobs out there for convicted felons, not all employers are so closed minded that they won't give a guy/gal a chance.

Can a convicted felon work with another convicted felon at a car lot?

If he has served the full term of his sentence and is not on parole or probation, yes. HOWEVER - if they are on parole or probation it would not be unusual for one of the conditions of their release to be that they not associate with known felons. THAT might prevent them from holding employment at a place where another convicted felon is employed.
