San Marcos, CA — January 21, 2016 | CoPlan College Funding Services (CoPlan CFS), a leader in the college funding advising industry, announced today the launch of a crowd funding campaign www.gofundme.com to develop college planning tools and tutorials to help families plan and pay for college. Dedicated to helping your students achieve their college dreams without breaking bank accounts or starting post-college years buried in student loan debt, CoPlan CFS will help students get into the college of choice while helping them and their families navigate the nearly $2.5 billion in aid that is available.
“The average student loan debt upon graduation in the USA is hovering around $30,000 and it is estimated that the student debt bubble is around $1.1 trillion (almost 5% of the national debt!),” explains Vasil Svolopoulos, CEO and Founder of CoPlan CFS. “Families who want college to be a possibility for their kids need specialized help. The current system that’s in place is either overburdened or inadequate to handle the load.
• The average student-to-counselor ratio in public schools is 450+:1.
• The average person works 47 hours a week, leaving even less time for college planning.
• A growing trend is students taking six years to complete a four-year degree at a university. (More time in school means more tuition money.)”
“Since our goal is to help every family in every city in every state, we are creating a series of professional videos and online tools to teach parents and students how to choose which college is best for their personal interests, how to save on college tuition, connect them with the right resources and people, provide insight on their journey, and so much more,” continues Vasil. “We have spent the past year creating a program of online courses to help families understand this college planning process, including financial aid, filling out documentation, and actually completing that four-year degree in four real years.”
However, this online course program is still unproduced. In order to make this program a reality, CoPlan CFS needs support. Visit CoPlan CFS’s Go Fund Me page to learn more about the online course, view the initial course outline, and contribute to the project. Any contribution is appreciated and to show their appreciation, CoPlan CFS will give perks for selected dollar amount. Every donation to the campaign includes rewards that will help families now with college preparedness and funding.
