Of course. Always make sure you understand your status, and don't assume you can't get aid.
Yes, but you see, I was charged for the possession of drug and now I no longer get student aid. What can I do?
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.
That's great to hear. But a drug conviction is a major obstacle when getting student aid, isn't it?
Yes, your eligibility might be suspended if the offense occurred while you were receiving federal student aid grants, loans, or work-study.
Do you want to know what to do when you complete the FAFSA form?
Yes, please.
After you complete the form, you will be asked whether you had a drug conviction for an offense that occurred while you were receiving federal student aid.
And what if I had a drug conviction?
Then you will be provided a worksheet to help you determine whether your conviction affects your eligibility for federal student aid.
If I m on probation, can I still get federal student aid?
