4. Reason you applied for Financial Aid? (150 words minimum required)

Ans: I am currently an active student from India, so I am investing all my resources, from money (mostly sponsored by my parents) to all of my energy into my study. In my college, I need to spend a hefty amount not only for my college tuition but also for living expenses in the hostel and pocket money for miscellaneous expenditures. From this, you are surely getting that I am left with almost no money to study for these great courses even if I want to pursue this one. Sir/Madame, this is my very humble request to you to accept my request for financial aid for this course, so that I can pursue it without any hassle and study the entire course, as this course will be very helpful for my study and for my placements too, as discussed in the next question. Lastly, I am looking forward to getting this scholarship and learning a lot from the esteemed teacher about Machine Learning and Deep Learning.

5. How much can you pay for this course?

Ans: 0

6. How will your selected course help with your goals? (150 Word minimum required)

Ans: As an Engineer, who is studying a college-level degree course, my main goal is to learn the fundamentals of the subject very well. Now, this certification course requires a lot of time and effort to study along with the numerous core subjects that I have. The fact is, I am very much interested in the field of Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science, as this field has a shade on almost all fields, like Mathematics, Computer Science, and Statistics including Mechanical too, in the era of automation. This course in Machine & Deep Learning will help me understand deeper parts of neural networks like applying optimization functions, regularization functions, and last but not least hyperparameter tuning. Also with the active community of this course, I can meet with various people with different backgrounds, and learn more about different aspects. Not only this, but this will certainly help me in my placements, as most of the recruiters in previous years want a basic knowledge of Machine Learning, for all engineering batches. That is how I plan to use the knowledge, considering if I get this novel scholarship. A little add-on to this, I have also watched and learned several Machine Learning videos from YouTube and blogs, so my passion reflects in all the areas of ML and automation. Looking forward to getting the course.

And voila!!! You have successfully applied for the financial aid in Coursera.

Just wait for 15 days, and your application will get approved. 🔥
