I am a student and not an earner. I am a CSE Undergrad. My family annual income ranges from 166-167$(in normal
conditions) and due to this pandemic it has reduced to around too less. My father is the only earning member in the
house. Its impossible to make both ends meet with this minimal income. Thankfully , I got a scholarship which helped me
get an admission to college. I go for 10+ hours coaching in my campus so that I can help my parents in this condition.
Its too tough in this condition. So this financial is really needed so that I can get a good job at a product based or
service based company and improve my present and future. If I add up my course it will make even harder for them to pay.
Sir, I need this course very badly for my CV and for increasing my knowledge about the subject.

Would you consider using a low-interest loan to pay for your courses?If you answered no, please help us understand why.

Sir, the financial status of the family is not too good to pay the loan amount. We already have a lot of dept in the
bank and my parents are paying it on regular basis. It would make their life even harder to add a new loan over them.
Sir, i don't want to put any pressure over them. Sir, it would be a great help for me to get a good job and help my
family if I'm able to get this course.
