is there any way I ( a sophomore in highschool ) could find a way to raise 3,000 dollars rather quickly?

I ask because I have been nominated to go to the NYLF: (National Youth and Leadership Forum) Engineering And Technology Program. the deadline for the $500.00 up front payment($3,000 total by April) is the 18th of this month. we were able to pay for it, but my mother had to get a CAT Scan and has been going to the Chiropractor for Pulling out her back, which the Insurance was supposed to cover but they made us pay for it. so now my parents are almost $1,500 in debt. she hasn t told me she cant pay for it yet, but its pretty obvious. sorry for the long Question, I just really, REALLY want to go to this program because it is right in the field i want to eventually get a job in and am super stressed about the whole situation.

    If you need to raise the money fast you can try to start a go fund me page. This is a crowd funding site that allows people to donate small to big amounts of money to help your cause. I have never used this website so I am not exactly sure how you go about setting a page but before doing this I would ask your parents first.

    This is a discussion to have with your parents and the people who nominated you. Envision is one of many for-profit programs that run this type of academic/leadership program. If you'd have gone to their website instead of Yahoo, you'd see there is a section on fundraising and financial aid.
