When government gives money to a college student this is an example of a consumer subsidy.

Explanation:

A government performs different roles in the economy of a company to ensure that income and resources are equally distributed to various people in the country. For example, the government utilizes economic policies to ensure that economically vulnerable groups in the society are given a chance towards economic growth by providing them with subsidies and low-cost loans, housing and healthcare to ensure that they have a chance at growing economically. Another way the government distributes income and resources is by providing tax cuts to the poor or those with low income while at the same time increasing taxes to the rich and wealthy. Examples of vulnerable groups in the society are; the poor, people with low income, the unemployed, people of old age, and the youth and children.

In our case,we will consider consumer subsidy. Consumer subsidy is the act of providing benefits to a certain group in the society. The benefits can be in the form of; tax cuts and cash payments to that particular group or individual. An example is the government giving money to a college student  in the form of consumer subsidy. College fees is usually very high and cannot be afforded by most students, government subsidies assist these students to go to college.
