MSc in Finance and Private Equity - LSE

Hello, monkeys

tl;dr - I'm a brazilian guy who received an offer to study at LSE, but I don't have the means to do it.
Would you guys be interest in lending me money (through a p2p lending website)?

Just a quick intro/about me:
- In 2014 I completed my bachelors degree in Accounting at Brazil's #1 university
- Received the 'Best Student Award' for having the highest GPA of the accounting department
- Received an "Academic Merit Scholarship" in 2013, which allowed me to do a student exchange programme at a reputable university in London
- Interned at a small PE shop that invests primarily in the retail sector
- 740 GMAT

Okay, moving on to the important part:
I've recently received an offer to study the Master in Finance and Private Equity at LSE, but I'm worried that I won't have the money to seize the opportunity. I come from a humble family and my parents just can't finance me (the programme's tuition fee represents about 1/4 of my family's net worth, just to give you guys an idea).

I've contacted all the major banks in Brazil, public institutions that offer scholarships (such as CAPES and CNPq), the British Council, World Bank, Interamerican Bank for Development, a couple of British banks, Rotary Club, Global Student Loan Corporation and even a couple of rich brazilian guys who are always talking about education. So far I haven't received any good news and as time passes I'm getting more and more worried.

I know that this is an unique opportunity (at least for someone like me) and that it will deeply affect my future, so I don't intend to miss it. Today, while I was thinking about what I could do, I remembered that there are crowdfunding and p2p lending websites.

The thing is: the major lending websites are for US or UK citizens, so I don't have access to them. This means I must try to raise funds through smaller/less active platforms and thus I must be more active about it and tell as many people I can about my project. The only people I know that would have the money to finance me are my past college teachers - and I will ask them for help. But I don't think this will be enough and that's why I'm here. Would you guys be interested in financing my Masters degree?

Thanks
