You have to understand your status and don't assume that you can't get aid because of a conviction.
well I'm on parole at the moment, so am I eligible for help?
You may be eligible for federal student aid. However, if you were convicted of a drug-related offense or if you are subject to an involuntary civil commitment for a sexual offense, your eligibility may be limited.
Are you familiar with Eligibility Criteria? What am I supposed to do first? Is it necessary for me to display my GED or a diploma?
Do you have a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent such as a General Educational Development certificate?
I have a GED
That GED shows you are qualified to obtain a college or career school education
I also need to be registered for the draft, right?
Yes, you have to be registered with Selective Service
how do I register if I forgot about it?
