The details
Coursera has no dedicated student program. Individual courses and Specializations offer Financial Aid via a short application; approval grants full access including the certificate. Coursera Plus is $59/mo or $399/yr, with rotating (non-student) promos. Many courses can also be audited free without a certificate.
