Help me go to archaeology field school!

Donation protected
My name is Taylor, I have always wanted to go to school for Archaeology.Just a week ago I received the exciting news that I was accepted into a field school! A field school is a 3-6 week class for students pursuing a career in archaeology; you get to work in the field ,for excavating and learning the ropes.This field school in particular is on the north rim of the Grand Canyon.The field school is 5 weeks long and is being offered by the University Of Nevada Las Vegas.My journey would start by taking a flight to Las Vegas and staying in a hotel room for one night. All the students then meet at the university; then we all car pool down to the canyon in 4 wheel drive jeeps. Once at the site (about 8 hours later) we set up our housing. We as students are required to bring our own tents to sleep in. Our meals (3 a day) are provided for us covered in the tuition costs. There is no internet or cell phone service where we are going.Every weekend we will make the 3 hour drive into town to do laundry, make phone calls and buy anything we may need/want. It may sound weird but this is my dream; my dream was finally coming true! Today, my excitement was dampened by the news of how much it will cost. Without help there is no way I can come up with this money before July. It would mean the world to me to be able to go to this course; a lifelong dream would have a chance of starting to be fulfilled.I can save up enough money to cover my equipment,hotel, and airfare. I wish I had something to offer in return for help. All I have to offer is the knowledge that you are helping someones education and career dreams come true. I can even send you pictures of what I work on at the field school(if you wanted them of course)!
