You can not get any kind of federal student aid, (loans, grants, work study) if you were convicted of a drug charge while in college and receiving federal financial aid at the time. And even if you did, you could complete an “acceptable drug rehab program” to get your eligibility back.

Here is the worksheet they use to determine eligibility.
