Financial Aid

Would you need a scholarship to take this course? If so, please explain your situation here. Typically those with full-time jobs won't qualify, but we don't want to rule anyone out of consideration by arbitrary rules. If approved, we'd ask that you put in extra effort to help other students and not be a burden to TA's/instructors.

Who referred you?

Do you have a promotional referral code?

We have a referral program to grow the course. Please help us give credit to people promoting us, even if you are applying for a scholarship.
