Help me attend a Field School.

Donation protected
My name is Scott, and I'm currently an Archaeology student attending community college. I'm finishing up my first semester of school, on my way to get a certification for field work. One of the volunteers at our school mentioned a bunch of field schools I could apply to over the summer to get more experience and another certification. The problem is I'd have to pay for it out of pocket. I applied thinking I'd never get picked and to my surprise in less than two days I got an acceptance email! The problem I'm facing now is that this program is run through a non profit, and gives me a certificate so my bank is telling me since it's not a real school I can't apply for a student loan, and they won't accept me for a personal loan as I had to leave my job to attend school. My roommates have been kind enough to help me with rent while I go to school, and I can almost get a job in the field, so I'm not at risk of that, but a real field school out in the world is much more costly than expected, and the funds made from this go fund me will go towards buying things for the trip as well as paying my entry fee into the program as well. First and foremost I need to actually pay to attend the class. The class alone is about $4k. The plane tickets I'd need are $2.5k. Those are the biggest factors keeping me from my trip, and while my GoFundMe cost isn't even going to cover those fully, they'll get me close enough that I think I can scrounge up the rest of the money needed much more easily. I have financial aid coming in and that should allow me to buy my tools and some camping equipment. If we can't raise enough by the time I have to pay a fee to leave, whatever money was donated will still go to buying tools and things to help me further my goals in making a Career in Archaeology.
