Does such a thing exist, and if so, can someone recommend a lender? Seems like even most private lenders want you to be in a degree program.

Not that I know of. Unless it leads into an MA/MS program and the U will attest that you will go there.

An MA /MS is more financial aid friendly.

Certificate programs don't qualify for conventional student aid fianancing as you've found out. There are, however, alternative financing arrangements available through places like Wells Fargo and Discover. I've no idea about the rates, but I'm familiar with these organizations as I'm considering a program through Penn State myself. In any case, if my, "alternative" is to finance via credit card or through a local payday loan-type institution, I won't be doing any further matriculation or will look instead at a more conventional graduate program that'll take more time but allows access to traditional funding.

Good luck!

You'd have to get a private loan. A FA officer at the school you are going to get your certificate could point you in the right direction.
