If you can't afford to pay for a degree, through the link on the course home page, you can apply for financial assistance or a scholarship. Using the audit mode, you can also access most course materials for free. In a course, learners with financial assistance or scholarships will be required to access all the material of the course and perform all the work necessary to obtain a course certificate. Financial aid and scholarships are only available to the course for which the application has been accepted.
