Identification
-
Hardship grants are essentially funding sources that recognize an applicant's economic need. They can come from a number of sources. One such provider is the federal government, which may have different grants categorized for different types of recipients. There may also be potential for attaining hardship grants from private organizations that have interests in particular types of applicants.
Types
-
As stated above, grants of this kind may be aimed at different demographic groups or interests. One such group may be single parents, particularly mothers, who have an enhanced need for fiscal support. Other people isolated for hardship assistance are the disabled, minorities such as Native Americans, business ventures and renters.

Students
-
One alternative to grants, but one equally important to students, is a deferment. If you are a current or former student and owe student loans, you might be eligible for a hardship deferment that postpones when you have to commence payments. This will be based on your income and the way your state evaluates the poverty line. Deferments typically last one calendar year but may be renewed upon the end of that cycle.
