Can a felon obtain a grant to go to school?

Answer 1

Grants have predetermined application. Usually if you can't finish your studies in the given period that the grant covers, you will have to pay the remaining time by yourself. In your case, I presume you were convicted while in school and released after the grant has expired. The grant would mostly likely be forfeited and given to another recipient. But you can find other grants to finish your studies.

Answer 2

It is possible for a felon to obtain a grant to go to school as there are grants available based on financial need or academic merit. However, eligibility for specific grants may vary depending on the nature of the felony and the policies of the grant provider. It's advisable to research and contact grant providers directly to inquire about their eligibility criteria.

Answer 3

Yes, they can. They can get the pell grant if they do not have any drug convictions. Anyone can apply for the federal student loans, they do not ask for background information. I am speaking from experience. I am now enrolled in a university with a pell grant and a federal stafford loan.

Answer 5

Felony convictions of drug related crimes are prohibited from obtaining unless they complete a drug rehabilitation program. Also any drug related offenses committed while using the grant will be considered forfeited and the offender will be required to repay the grant money awarded. There is no other disclosure about any other felony convictions other than drug related crimes. Also to note that there are thousands of other government backed programs that felons are fully eligible for, just as anyone else is. Another bit of information is that there are also grants established specifically to felons who are trying to get a higher education.

An ex-felon, to distinguish we are talking about a person who has been released from prison not someone incarcerated. If you are out, drug charges or not, you are ELIGIBLE for Pell grants and Sanford loans to cover you cost of going to school. If you choose to change your path and have a better chance at being successful it is there waiting for you. Fill out your FASFA and go down to your local community college do testing and register. You have to be serious about it and if you are you will succeed. Education changes life's as well or better than anything out there. Do be aware though, if you are on financial aid and you get a drug charge while accepting grants and loans they will make you pay back your award for that term. so only do it if it is something you are serious about.

Answer 6

Yes. An individual may receive a state education! Please don't listen to the negativity individuals will present. They are probably guessing. Yes you may attend a state university there may be a challenge if there has been a prior (two year ) conviction of drugs. Financial aid is a challenge. Never give up there is always a way. Another FYI for those who may be favored to receive a position through God. The D.O.L hires convicted felons, but only after three years of the crime or it may be after parole/probation is complete.

Answer 7

yes felons can get financial aid, as long as their convictions are not related to the field of work they are studying for.

Answer 8

Yes, I do believe felons are eligible to receive pell grants for college as long as you were not convicted of a drug offense while receiving financial aid.

Answer 9

If you have successfully completed your term of punishment, there is no law that would prevent you from applying
