There are other options for aid that you may qualify for. First, try checking with your country's embassy or a consulate here in the U.S. to see if they can offer you any assistance.
Can you please tell me what other convictions can affect my eligibility for the financial aid?
You cannot receive a Federal Pell Grant if you have been convicted of a forcible or non forcible sexual offense, and you are subject to an involuntary civil commitment upon completion of a period of incarceration for the said offense.
I have a conviction but am not sure if it falls under the conditions you described.
