How to apply for Financial Aid on Coursera and what to write?

1) Go to the course and click on financial aid available

2) Tick the 2 boxes and write I agree to the terms above

3) Write your income as 0 and tell you are a student

Now, moving to question sessions;

1) Why do you want to apply for financial aid?

Answer:

I’m a student with a keen interest in learning and research niche. I always try to learn new stuff and information being delivered by respected people of different zones. I belong to a poor family and live hand to mouth but this never let me stop chasing my passions towards better studies and life. My father is a daily wager and earns a maximum of $200 per month. I’m unemployed and currently looking for a job. My father’s income is very less and it’s very difficult for me to pay for the course as he is already bearing the educational expenses of five of us. I’m passionate about learning new courses as I find a way toward making my life better in the educational niche. Coursera is the best educational website, I have ever come across by my research and experience. Being poor, I can’t afford to pay for the course.

2) How will this course help you?

Answer:

I’m a student with a keen interest in X and its research. I love studying and learning X. This course, “…………………….” will clarify my concepts and provide me the opportunity to learn a lot about X. I have studied X in high school and want to polish my skills in this subject. This particular course will help me to strengthen my interest in X as well as learn the basics of X. It can be a laying stone or foundation towards my road to success as a researcher and scientist in chemistry. This will boost up my job prospects and help me to give a better performance and outshine in the crowd and mark my name. The course will help me to learn and progress in my career through my hard work and passion. Adding it to my resume will help me a lot in getting scholarships.

3) Can you return this amount in episodes, If not why?

I belong to a poor family and live hard to mouth. But, I don't want this fact to be an obstacle on my road to success. My father is a daily wager and hardly earns the basic amount to fund living and education. I'm a student and unemployed at this time. So, can't afford to pay the course fee.

Thanks
