I’m Todd Bezenek. I don’t have any income so I was hoping to get a discount to keep attending the class. Does anyone know who I would ask about that?
I have an extensive background so I can contribute in exchange for assistance.
Cheers!

Hello, Aryan. What does “Aryan” stand for?
I’m unemployed and I have been looking for work for 3 years. I was hoping I could get a discount that will allow me to continue taking this course. Who would I talk to about that? I’m willing to help others in order to get a discount.
I have an extensive background that might be helpful to others.
Cheers!

Hello @ToddB,
As far as I know, in some selected courses, the financial aid is open for applications. You might start exploring about it by clicking the link on the course’s description page:
You might also search Cousera’s Help center for more info on “Financial Aid”.
Although you might ask questions about financial aid here and see if other learners have anything to share, the quickest way would be to consult Cousera since they are responsible for everything about it including what you can get if your application gets approved.
Cheers,
Raymond

Thank you, Raymond. I’ll take a look at that if I can find it. Since I’m already enrolled, I may not be able to find it.
I donated $99/year so I could get the course for free for 7 days and I have to cancel by the 9th in order to not be charged. It seems like so little money, but where does a person decide it isn’t small anymore?
I give up. I’ll just pay the $99. 
Hey @ToddB,
I think what matters most is that you can decide where you spend your money.
Why don’t you contact Coursera? Nobody knows Cousera better than Cousera. Discuss with them and see what options you have? Maybe you can ask them if you can cancel it and then apply for financial aid? Maybe you can ask about the eligibility and how to apply for that?
Don’t give up your right to do or cancel anything if you think you can make a better decision about it. Good luck!!
Cheers,
Raymond
Thank you, Raymond. I’ll see if I can get a note in front of a real person at Coursera.
@ToddB, it’s great! It is the best move to deal with your subscription matter with Cousera. I am sure you are aware too, but just as a reminder, please mind that 7 day period because it’s your right and responsibility to make that decision within the time window. I am not sure where Cousera’s customer service office is located, but in case it is in the US, there should be a holiday this week besides weekend, and you will need to take that into account too since time is also a concern.
Good luck!
Raymond

Hello there @ToddB , I think you should try the financial aid option as previously mentioned by my fellow mentor. It is a very simple process and has a high rate of approval atleast what I have seen myself (of 10s of courses I have applied for none were rejected).
It will only take 5 to 10 minutes to fill out the details and you will recieve a reply back from them in a fortnight.
Hope this helps.
