Just got into my dream school but can not afford it

I was accepted into my dream school in the US for a master in computer science. I thought I will be able to get a scholarship but the admission team just told me there is no scholarship for international students. Moreover, they are asking me a proof of ability to pay for the program. I have €20k on my bank account...

I was thinking to launch a crowdfunding campaign. Any thoughts?

thank you

If its a good program, can't you get a loan from the bank?

IIRC, the vast majority of lenders would require a co-signer that is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

Aren't there websites where people can "invest" in you and, in return, get a % of your future income? Google this and see if it's legit.

A company might offer to put you through school but I think you'll have to act fast. Also the school scholarship isn't the only one out there. There are tons of scholarships available. Probably some in your home country. I had a friend that applied for 84 scholarships when they graduated HS. I think that's a little excessive but you get the idea.
