My name is Keyur and I am from India . As a student, I do not have any special source of income, but things get even worse when you are a student. I live only on my scholarship ($1000 per annum). I can't pay for this course. Financial Aid will help me take this course without any adverse impact on my monthly essential needs. I want to take this course as I want to complete the Algorithm Specialization on Coursera. I can barely feed myself and pay for a dorm with the money I have. For me, it seems impossible to pay for an entire course by myself. My parents can't help me, either. So, I would say that the main reason I 'm asking you for the Financial Aid is the circumstances due to which I happened to born in a lovely country – India. Receiving this Financial Aid will open for me new horizons of the world of Coursera courses, which in turn will help me in future. I wanted to take this specialization but couldn't afford it; hence, I decided to apply for Financial Aid. The financial Aid will help me take the course, and I will be able to learn more about algorithms.
From my childhood, I have always been very interested in learning more about computers and how they work. I will choose my specialty as well as my future job based on my interest. Which happens to be deep learning. I am fascinated by logic and data structures and how it enables computers to perform seemingly impossible tasks. I firmly believe that doing your job as a hobby will allow you to reach a very high place. This principle has helped me a lot during my studying and I hope it will help in future as well. As written above, Coursera has been not only suggested by my student peers but also our college faculty, and so following their prestigious advice, I would be glad to gain more knowledge and hone my skills with this course. Also I intend to participate in Discussion Forums, which I think will supplement my learning. I also plan to grade assignments which are peer reviewed which I believe will be an invaluable learning opportunity.
