Oooh that is not good. They don’t want to give you grant money if you deal with illegal drugs (as you know). Um can you look into getting your record sealed? You say its been 10 years I think you can do it if you have a low felony record. I don’t know I think it changes from state to state. I know F4 &F5 can be sealed. Also you should looking in the Foundation Center and see if they can give you any information about grants for felons. I know they have them out there you just have to dig for them. It’s funny because a lot of places will hire a felon with a drug conviction but they won’t hire other types of felons. Oh well good luck.
