Coursera 申请助学金流程和材料

---

前言

Coursera这样一个类似于中国大学Mooc的平台，有这非常硬核经典的课程，深受很多行业头部人员的喜爱，自然而然就会推荐很多，但是这是一个国外的平台，所以首先需要科学上网，其次Coursera上的课程是要收费（旁听不需要收费，但是做不了官方提供的作业，得不到很多硬核的训练，且自然没有证书了。），但是幸运的是，对于部分课程，Coursera提供了助学金这样一个方式，对于学生（特别是中国学生没有美国的信用卡），这是一个幸运的事情。

一、进入Coursera官方网站

科学上网这里不赘述了。请读者自行解决！

网易UU加速器据说可以进行Coursera免费网站加速，可以尝试！

点击进入Coursera

在右上角进行注册登录。

二、选择自己感兴趣（需要）学习的课程

这里以DeepLearning.ai 中的Improving Deep Neural Networks: Hyperparameter Tuning, Regularization and Optimization为例。

看到课程下方有助学金的字样代表着这个课程可以通过申请助学金来免费学习。
点击助学金，即可开始进行助学金的申请。

三、申请助学金

以下内容仅作参考（我自己的申请内容）
I am very interested in this course. I believe that this course can effectively help me in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and make my professional skills more perfect.
However, since I am now a full-time student who does not have a job, I can’t afford the extra monthly study fee by relying on scholarships and daily part-time tuition and living expenses.
I am currently studying in the university. My learning, adaptation, communication and organization skills are excellent. In my spare time, I actively participated in various volunteer activities and artificial intelligence competitions to improve my skills. However, in the process of the competition, I increasingly found my lack of knowledge, so I need to learn more courses about machine learning and deep learning to broaden my knowledge and enrich my theoretical knowledge in the professional field. Meanwhile, classic courses can also deepen my understanding of this subject.
I am determined to complete this course, please give me this opportunity.

以下仅作参考（我自己申请内容）
I am a student majoring in computer science and technology, and my research direction is artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our courses cover computer science, big data, and theoretical mathematics.
In the process of learning, I gradually found that we need to dig deeply into machine learning and deep learning, which can help artificial intelligence students understand the underlying principles and infrastructure of artificial intelligence, and enable us to write our own programs systematically according to our own ideas from scratch. This course can help me deal with big data better from basic programming and analyze what I have learned through programming.
In addition, PYTHON has increasingly become a required skill for ai-related jobs. Through the study of this course, I can better enrich my professional skills and become a professional with both theoretical knowledge and operational ability. I hope to find a job related to artificial intelligence and machine learning after graduation, mainly engaged in the research of theoretical machine learning.

I am completely independent from home now, without any economic income. Scholarships and part-time income sometimes cannot even meet daily needs, and I have plans to continue my Ph.D., and I expect that my income will not be high in the next four years.
I hope that I can give back to the website through my good things, such as promoting the coursera on the website, forums and other platforms, through my excellent results word of mouth marketing.

全部提交完毕后，网站会在15天后告诉你结果，通过后就可以上课了，而且完成后还会发送给你一份正式的结课证书。

四、另外

对于可以七天试用的课程，七天试用期内完成的证书可以下载，不需给平台付费。
