Coursera financial aid
How Coursera financial aid works
Coursera says financial aid or scholarships are available on select learning programs for learners who cannot afford the enrollment fee. Availability and award amounts vary by program rather than following one universal discount.
- If financial aid is available for a specific learning program, Coursera places an application link on that program's description page.
- Financial aid is not offered on every course, certificate, or specialization, so students need to check the exact program before planning around it.
- The amount and conditions vary by program; Student Benefits Intelligence does not treat Coursera aid as a guaranteed fixed-dollar benefit.
Does Coursera offer financial aid?
Yes. Coursera currently states that select learning programs offer financial aid or scholarships for learners who cannot afford the enrollment fee.

Is Coursera financial aid available for every course?
No. Coursera explicitly limits financial aid and scholarships to select learning programs.
