One of my employees is a Felon and a Single mother. I am sure that
there is a program out there to allow her to get a low or no interest
school loan so that she can go to College at night and improve
herself, but I cannot find anything about them. Any help appreciated!

She is located in Tulsa, oklahoma. She is also still on Parole and
restricted to Oklahoma.

I guess it would be a question of what type of felon is she.

Felons qualify for aid, drug users don't

"Rapists, murderers and other convicts qualify for financial aid, but
students ? including ones at Cal State Fullerton ? with even minor
drug arrests are ineligible, according to a 1998 amendment in the
Higher Education Act.

The drug provision, authored by Rep. Mark Souder of Indiana, states
that convicted first-time drug possessors are banned from receiving
aid for one year, second-time possessors and first-time distributors
for two years and third-time possessors and second-time distributors
for an ?indefinite? time."
