But the primitive's looking for help in the wrong place.

Looking for some help here
I need some help locating some particular scholarships, and I thought I'd ask here since you're all pretty smart. I've been accepted into law school for this fall and, also, am a convicted felon. My felony conviction doesn't have anything to do with drugs (as felony drug convictions preclude one from applying for federal aid), but I can't get FAFSA as I am going for an advanced degree. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of any scholarships that are intended for felons that are not limited to drug offenses. I've checked Fastweb and Google, and I'm about to e-mail the school's financial aid officer.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
.....since you're all pretty smart.....
ROTFLMAO

2. good luck.
That's it; that's the whole bonfire.
Just as I thought, the primitive went to the wrong place.

It looks like the funds for convicted felons (but not drug use) well has run dry.
Tough luck skippy,guess you will just have to work for it. :-)

You should have thought about this before you raped your neighbor's dog.
All you can do now is serve as an example for the other young DUmmys in your village.

Er....excuse me....but how can one receive a license to practice law if a convicted felon?? I thought that was an automatic disbarment in most states......
