About the StudentLoanList

October 16th, 2012 — 9:05pm

Every year around the holidays I get e mails with numbers and statistics showing how non profit agencies are using donated funds to pay for thousands or in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars for salaries, operating costs, advertising and other things. The point being that you may think you are donating a certain dollar amount toward a certain cause, and only a small amount of your money is used for the purpose intended.
Not so at www.StudentLoanList.com
The owner/manager makes no salary.
Donations for registered students made by check have nothing subtracted for operating costs! Yes, that’s right 100% of your donation will go toward the students debt. Donations made by credit card will have 6% subtracted and the balance will go toward the students debt. The 6% is to cover credit card processing fees and bookkeeping expenses.
So please consider the StudentLoanList when you think about holiday giving. The future leaders of our country are saddled with massive student loan debt and they need help.

Wish that $135000 had gone to StudentLoanList

June 20th, 2012 — 3:49pm

Have you been following the Zimmerman case ? It is not being disputed that Zimmerman shot a young man and killed him. He is facing second degree murder charges. What is being questioned is the motive. But with legal problems come legal expense costs, so a PayPal account was created for individuals to make donations for his legal defense fund. An article in the NewYork Times states that donations were received that added up to as much as $135,000. Donors…..why donate to a fund like that, when you can donate to assist someone with their college expenses? Seems like hard work should be rewarded. Our college graduates are the future leaders of our country, and they are saddled with tremendous debt as they start their life. Student loan debt will affect the ability to purchase a home or car, and takes money away that these smart young people could be using to start a business. Donors, please help the students that are on the StudentLoanList. Your donation will be applied toward their debt and you will be doing a great thing for someone. A random act of kindness is a wonderful thing.

Donation for a Lucky Student

May 23rd, 2012 — 6:05pm

Today a lucky student was selected to receive a donation !   We have noticed an increase of visitors to the website looking at the donors pages, and we are so happy about that !  We appreciate all  donors and donations !!

The average student loan debt in the United States is $25000-$27000 (depending on what source you use)  but the average debt of the individuals on the StudentLoanList is $68,000.  Yes, $68,000. Our students are hurting and they need assistance and they are grateful for every single donation.

Filling out a FAFSA ( application for financial assistance )  is a routine part of applying for college these days. It is so expensive to go to school that without getting loans, most students couldn’t afford to go.

Congratulations to the student receiving the donation today!

We hope that the StudentLoanList will grow to be the biggest and best site for students to ask for help with their student loan debt, and every donation helps !  Please donate what you can, and pass the word on about the website to any potential donors that you know !

UPDATE  5/23/2012 10:34PM

Today someone registered on the StudentLoanList with $239,788.  in student loan debt. This raises the average debt of individuals registered on the website to $87,269.  Thats more than 3 x the average student loan debt.

More Information About the StudentLoanList

May 9th, 2012 — 3:19am

It is smart to evaluate an organization before making a donation via the internet, or any other place. Many savvy internet users check out charities on a website called charitynavigator.org . It’s a smart thing to do.  Is the StudentLoanList on charitynavigator ?  No, because the StudentLoanList is not registered as a 501(c)  a non profit organization.

Monies recieved via the StudentLoanList will go directly to make a payment on one of our registered students student loan accounts. We do subtract a very small handling fee for credit card transactions, which the students pay. Donations made by check do not incur a handling fee at all and 100% of the money will be paid to the student loan account.

Donors may have questions about the StudentLoanList, and using some information on how to evaluate a charity - borrowed from charitynavigator- here are some questions and answers.

What are the program expenses ? In other words – how much of the donation actually goes to the intended cause ?  If paid by credit card 94%,  if paid by check 100%.

What is the executive pay?  So far nothing !  At some point pay for office staff will come from the $10. sign up fee paid by the students and whatever portion of the 6% credit card processing fee is left after pay pal takes it cut.

Is the program you are supporting with your donations growing?  Yes, it is

Is the website accountable and transparent ? Yes. Donations are listed on the expanded profiles of the students, and the manager/owner of the StudentLoanList is easy to contact.

Donor Privacy - Is there a donor privacy policy ?   Yes, there is a privacy policy in place.

Is there a demand for the services ?  Yes. There are 37 million student loan borrowers and 27%  are in a past due status. Student loan debt in the United States exceeds credit card debt and over a trillion dollars  is owed on student loans.

You can use StudentLoanList to obtain donations from parents, family and others ! The StudentLoanList is designed to give our registered users privacy and anonymity. However, if you are not shy about friends and loved ones knowing about your massive student loan debt, then tell your parents, grandparents or perhaps that rich uncle – or anyone else that has extra money – that you are registered on www.studentloanlist.com. Tell them that you would love for them to make a donation toward your student loan debt. You can tell them that the website is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week !
