Help an entrepreneur
kickstart a business providing discount college course textbooks and materials
Troy, New York
– February 21, 2015 – Brandon Kramer announces the campaign
to provide discount college textbooks and materials to college students. There
is a serious problem plaguing today's financially-strapped college students:
namely, the cost of textbooks and materials. They are often not covered by
financial aid, scholarships, or grant money, and often it can be difficult for
students to find the appropriate edition, copy, or version that is requested by
the instructor. On top of this, sometimes the student is unable sell back the
books due to their age, length of use, or simply because they have become
outdated since the last printing.
College textbook prices are 812 percent higher than they were a
little more than three decades ago, the American Enterprise Institute, a think
tank, reports. Textbook costs have well outpaced the 559 percent increase in
tuition and fees over roughly the same period.
Brandon Kramer's goal is to change this situation for the millions of college-bound students struggling in the same situation. No family should have to make the tough decision, trying to determine where the funding for yet another college expense is going to come from. Brandon did not come from wealthy family himself, and they unfortunately were not able to spare the money for him to pursue a college degree. Because of this experience, Brandon wants to save other potential college students the trouble of making this sacrifice.
Brandon's campaign involves starting a website-based business where college students could find both the materials and the course textbooks required for their college courses, but offered at rock-bottom prices compared to what they would normally pay at the university. By donating to his project, you are helping college students everywhere save money on their books and materials, allowing them to spend more of their money towards tuition and all of the other aspects of college that are so expensive.
