Best Answer

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.

It depends on the type of felony. I would contact the Financial Aid department at your school of interest, and they will give you appropriate direction. Still, I have been told that individuals convicted of a felony can receive aid in many cases.


Will having a non- drug related felony on my record affect my financial aid andor my journalism major in school?

No it wont. It only applies to drug felonies and only withholds aid a year or two. I have a drug felony and I receive financial aid now. What brought me to your question was your journalism major, I'm finishing my bachelors in accounting, but I'm concerned obviously about getting a job with a felony, I've tried to research which majors would be "felon friendly", not sure there are any, My question to you if you don't mind: do you believe you will find a job easily when you graduate in journalism. Is the journalism market "felon friendly". Ive always had interest in journalism, I LOVE to write. Thanks '
