Coursera Financial Aid: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access professional courses for free through Coursera's financial aid program if you have a limited income.
Coursera Financial Aid is a program that provides access to professional certification courses for individuals who cannot afford the standard fees.
Who it's for
This program is for anyone with a limited income who is seeking professional certification to improve their skills.
What you get
You receive full access to various courses covering fields like business, logistics, and technology at no cost.
What it costs you
While the courses themselves are free, you must spend time completing an application form where you explain your financial hardship. Once submitted, you will need to wait 15 days for your application to be processed.
The catch to know
Aid is not granted for an entire degree or a whole specialization at once; you must apply for financial aid for each individual course separately.
How to apply
- Visit the course page on the official website.
- Look for the financial aid link near the enrollment button.
- Complete the application form detailing your financial situation.
- Wait for the processing period to finish to receive your access.
