Tell me about students with criminal convictions and federal student aid
If you are a student with criminal convictions, make sure you understand your status, and don't assume you can't get aid
================
What if my eligibility for federal student aid has been suspended due to a drug conviction?
In that case, you can regain eligibility early by successfully completing an approved drug rehabilitation program or by passing two unannounced drug tests administered by an approved drug rehabilitation program
================
Can I get federal student aid if I'm incarcerated?
Yes but you have limited eligibility for federal student aid
Was your incarceration for a drug related offense?
No, it wasn't for that.
================
What if I'm on probation?
Null
================
Is there a problem if I am convicted of a drug-related offense after submitting the FAFSA form?
Yes because you might lose eligibility for federal student aid and you might be liable for returning any financial aid you received during a period of ineligibility
