Tuition For The Lake Erie Underwater CRM Program

Hi! My name is Carissa Stone, I am a Bio Anthropology Major at Buffalo State University. Recently my department has been given the option to sign up for the 2024 US (PA): Lake Erie Underwater CRM Program. "This is an underwater Cultural Resource Management (CRM) field school. It is designed to train students for the specific needs of marine CRM and as a job training program. Students seeking training in academic underwater archaeology may participate but need to understand that the program will have significant concentration on compliance, legal frameworks of marine CRM and immersion in consultation practices." I applied to this program and got accepted! Unfortunately the programs tuition is $4,810 (not including meals for students). And since this is the summer program financial aid is unable to help pay for this program. So with the help of friends, family, and (possibly) strangers, I'll be able to hopefully afford this three month long program which will give me certifications, credits for my degree, and WORK EXPERIENCE in my field.
