Are Pell Grants and other Financial Aid Programs Available to Felons?
Students with criminal convictions have limitedeligibility for federal student aid. |
There seems to be a lot of jobs for Ultra Sound and X-ray Techs. I think either of these would be great jobs for my son and other young people who want to turn their lives around. Please can someone give me an answer on this. I try hard to get as much help as I can in these areas. These people have done their time, they have been punished and so has the parents!

Are Pell Grants and other Financial Aid Programs Available to Felons?
Hello Katheia,
I have students with felony convictions who were able to get grants and loans for education and subsequently jobs. Unfortunately not everyone convicted of a felony is eligible. Certain drug convictions require that you complete an accepted drug rehabilitation program in order to be eligible for federal financial aid.
I suggest you contact the financial aid office of the institution you wish to attend. The institution wants you as a student and will do everything they can to help you get financial aid. They will also help you complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid.)
You can get get the more information as well as a down loadable FAFSA here:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/faq003.htm#faq003_5
There also may be financial aid available from your state.
I regards to getting a job in the medical field, I suggest contacting the medical licensing board in your state to find out if your conviction will prohibit you from being certified or licensed in your state.
I hope this helps
