I've completed my own classes, how can I apply for the certificate.

[@chicmama8109]

Hello Rhoda! Your video had been a tremendous help to me last year when I was trying to apply for financial aid on Coursera to earn a certificate in Google Data Analytics. I'm happy to tell you that I was provided financial aid for more than 10 courses and I've also been able to earn the Professional Data Analyst Badge. Thank you so much for such useful content !

[@RhodaOlabisi]

You’re welcome, and well done!!! 👍🏽☺️

[@lightbako]

Hello Rhoda. I did a search and your video was the first to come up on my search result. I am super excited to see you because I remember you vividly. We went to secondary school together (AFCS). You were a class ahead of me. I'm really happy to see your video on here. I'll definitely subscribe as you have content I'm interested in.

[@RhodaOlabisi]

Hi Light, your comment just made my day! We should catch up!🤭

[@ajiboyeolusola6278]

Thank you very much, this is very helpful. I was just planning to pay for a course, I pray it has the financial aid. Thanks once again

[@RhodaOlabisi]

I am glad you find it helpful.

I applied for data analytics and it was approved but i was told to pay because the financial aid covers only 90%. Pls, how can i go about it?

[@taiwotemitope-kl6ew]

Thank you so much Rhoda ❤. You are the best.

[@RhodaOlabisi]

You’re welcome!

[@oyinolufayo7662]

Yayyy! This is beautiful? However, Is the financial aid limited? I mean, can you stop being entitled to it after applying for a particular number?

[@RhodaOlabisi]

No, you can apply for as many times as you need.

[@jaybeejosephayantade9698]

Thank you very much. I followed through with your video and I got the financial aid for Data Analytics. I'll like to ask though, do I need to keep applying for the other stages of the course, or the first financial aid covers all? I have started the course BTW 😁😁

[@RhodaOlabisi]

Hello, I’m glad you got the financial aid! Yes, you have to apply for each course, it doesn’t cover all.

[@animefights8238]

Can you apply for each of the sub courses at once or I have to finish the one that got approved before I apply again

Must it be 150 words

Maybe not exactly but it has to be close.

I got accepted to the financial aid and today I finished the course but I Don't know how to get the certificate cuz whenever I click on purchase certificate they ask me to pay

If you are seeing the option to purchase after getting financial aid. The problem could be that the financial aid had expired before you completed the course.

Hello Rhoda, please I want to apply for google UX design professional certification and it’s closing today 28th but I can’t find any slot for the financial aid on the page, can you kindly look if it’s available for that course?

[@RhodaOlabisi]

Hi Shayo, there is financial aid available for the course. I am currently looking at it. Try refreshing and/or send me a DM.

[@Travelmandiary]

Great video! What if I really intend to pay for the subscription, can it be possible to make the payment via my local bank card? If not how do I go about it?

[@RhodaOlabisi]

You need a dollar card to make payment from Nigeria

[@teclasicbaldi]

i submit it but the approval comes after the endline for enrolment. so it means everytime i want to do a course i have to look for the farther endline so that they have the time to answer?!

[@RhodaOlabisi]

The deadline does not affect your learning. Coursera is self paced.

[@mosesmakafui3]

When applying for Coursera financial aid for a professional course consisting of 8 sub-courses, is it possible to receive financial aid for all 8 courses, or will Coursera determine which courses to provide financial aid for?

[@animefights8238]

Please how far did you try this?? Did it work? I want to apply for the sub courses but I don't know if they'd approve all

[@mosesmakafui3]

Yeah, it works. Apply for the courses individually.

Hi Damilola, usually you can’t submit financial aid applications once you have started the course. So, you may want to reach Coursera for support on that.

[@lightbako]

Anyway I have a question as well, I've tried paying for a course on cousera using my local bank and the payment was unsuccessful. I did a google search for options and the only one I could find was to pay using a virtual dollar card. It sounds ridiculous to create one just for this purpose and suffer the burden of the bank charges for as long as the card exists. Please do you have any advice on any alternate solutions? (This video is also helpful. I'll be applying for financial aid subsequently. Thank you)

[@RhodaOlabisi]

The alternative way to pay on Coursera from Nigeria is to use a GTB Dollar Mastercard. I am not sure if other bank cards work on there.

You may want to try submitting your application via the web instead of the Coursera app. Also, I think it should be fine if your answer is a little bit above 200 words, but ideally, it should be a maximum of 200 words.
