If he was locked up why didn't he finish his schooling at the States expense. As far as I know he will not be eligible to receive a grant.

If they can get good scores on the ACT or SAT, they can get money that way.  If they are from poor families, they can get federal money (go to the FAFSA website, fill out forms, submit to colleges).  There are scholarships if they can prove a disability (even a mental disability), like if a psychiatrist had to treat them for depression and other problems.

You could be eligible for some types of Federal aid, depending on your situation (where you are and what you were convicted of)...\n\nAre you currently incarcerated? If so, you are not eligible for Federal loans, but you are eligible for a Federal SEOG (Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant) and, in some cases, a Pell Grant. (Your eligibility for Pell depends on the type of institution in which you are incarcerated. People in federal and state penal institutions aren’t eligible for Pell grants, but students in local penal institutions are eligible.)  \n\nIf you're not incarcerated, your eligibility depends on the nature of your offense.  The law imposes restrictions on drug offenses: If you were convicted of possession or sale of illegal drugs at the same time that you were receiving federal student aid, you won't be eligible for federal aid until AT LEAST one year since your conviction, as follows:\n\nIf you were convicted for possession, and it was your first offense, you are eligible to federal aid one year from the date of your conviction. If you were convicted for selling (and it was your first offense), you must wait 2 years from your conviction date.... If you have more than one offense for selling or more than 2 offenses for possession, you can only regain eligibililty for federal student aid funds after you complete a certain type of rehab program.  If you're not incarcerated and the above doesn't apply to you, you should be OK to receive aid.\n\nFederal aid aside, it is possible that there are scholarships out there for people looking to start anew -- perhaps some specific your circumstances. Try searching www.fastweb.com for organizations that help people looking to give people a second chance. I'm sure there are some out there.\n\nBest of luck.

Contact the dept of Human Services in your county and register with disability services..they may be able to help you with tuition and books, etc. However, if the school is not acccreditted..meaning they don't take fin. aid, they may not help. If they take fin aid..apply for it. Some schools have scholarships based on your degree and GPA.

Yes, current law seems to apply only to drug felonies and not other sorts of violations of law. That means bank robbers, child molesters, murderers can get college loans, but someone convicted of selling a small amount of marijuana to an undercover officer would be ineligible for student loans.

If you are lucky maybe you will get a guy fresh out of prison.  \n\nGood luck with that!

A grant is income. You can take certain school expenses against that. They have credits given to students. Hope this helps.

If his felon is drug related than he cannot get a federal loan. \nThis question cannot be left blank.\n\nAnswer No to this question if:\n\n    *\n      You have never had a conviction for possessing or selling illegal drugs\n    *\n      The conviction was not a state or federal offense\n    *\n      The conviction occurred before you were 18 years of age and you were not tried as an adult\n    *\n      The conviction was removed from your record\nIf he answers yes to this question, he cannot proceed with the Fafsa and if he lies they will find out and lying to federal goverment. Felon status will eliminate him from a lot of jobs, too. Does he have his high school diploma or GED?\n"Falling Through the Cracks: Loss of State-Based Financial Aid\n\nFalling Through the Cracks: Loss of State-Based Financial Aid Eligibility for Students Affected by the Federal Higher Education Act Drug Provision\nSource: Coalition for Higher Education Act Reform (CHEAR)\n"The drug provision of the Higher Education Act expressly denies federal aid to persons convicted of state or federal drug offenses for specified periods of time.4 However, the law offers no prescribed method by which states should determine eligibility for state financial aid. This has led to inconsistency and confusion among state financial aid offices, leaving many qualified applicants without the resources they need to go to college, and many financial aid officers believing, incorrectly, that they must deny aid to students who have been convicted of drug offenses simply because the federal government has done so. This report details the findings of research conducted on how the 50 states and the District of Columbia determine eligibility for state-based financial aid for persons who have reported having drug convictions on Question 31 of the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA). The report also makes recommendations for how states can clarify the situation so that students losing federal aid because of drug convictions can still receive state aid."

The Governor from your State has to grant it for you. I have known of narcs getting that done to clear their records in my State. My City has a prosecutor that is a Republican felon. He was able to get the Governor to pardon him somehow, it was snitching everybody says.

Yes.  But be sure you are not interested in any position that involves security clearance.  If you get married to a felon, it could limit your ability to move up the ranks since it might affect your ability to get approval to do some military tasks.

If it is a mistakes, they can.  For instance, they found you cheated/mistook when filling information. Grant usually the government/school money assists to student who're qualified, if they find you're qualified they still have the right to take it away.\n\nWhen receiving the grant, I believe there is always a "statement" about taking back the grant.

You get him in with $$$$$$$$$$$$$. Contact individual schools about their own special programs. They are separate from state funding and regulations so right now their aren't grants or loans for you to use unless your state has a voucher program.  Contact the school and start early.

Yes they can.  A felon under State conviction must apply to the Governor for Restatement of individual rights.  Those of a federal conviction must apply to the President for a pardon.\n\nAlthough some Presidents and Governorsmay have given pardons for other than legal reasons, most have taken this power very seriously.  Those who have been pardon or received their rights, have met requirements established by the executive and their staff and earned their reinstatement.
