Student loans can be deferred and by contacting the lender you can plead all sorts of hardship. The best help you can get for paying off student loans is a second job!

There is no real way to get assistance for paying your student loans back. One of the things that you can do is to get a forbearance if you can not afford your loans in which you will have to pay later on. Or you can get a lower payment by getting interest only.

If your student loans are government sponsered, you can consult your lender who offers a variety of payment plans ranging from a temporary suspension of payments to a complete write-off of the loan due to hardship. Most students find a period of forebearance allows them to get back on their feet and resume making payments.
