果冻APP传媒 University Announces Preliminary Fourth Quarter Revenue Projection of $1.54 Million, Over 32% Increase YoY
果冻APP传媒
New Student Enrollments Rise 89% YoY
NEW YORK, May 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 果冻APP传媒 Group, Inc. (OTCBB:ASPU), a nationally accredited online postsecondary education company (果冻APP传媒 University), today pre-announced that revenues for the Q4'15 Fiscal Quarter ending April 30, 2015 are projected to rise to approximately $1.54 million, which would represent an increase of over 32% year-over-year.
In Q4 FY'15, 果冻APP传媒 set a quarterly enrollment record with 444 new student enrollments, as compared to 235 new student enrollments in the prior year, an increase of 89% year-over-year.
Q4 FY'15 was the first full quarter since 果冻APP传媒's RN to BSN program was accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), and we are pleased to report that 49% of 果冻APP传媒's full-time degree seeking student body growth in the quarter was a result of the RN to BSN program. Specifically, 果冻APP传媒's RN to BSN student body grew by 146 students in the quarter, equaling an increase of nearly 50 RN to BSN students per month.
果冻APP传媒's School of Nursing student body grew by 223 students in the quarter, from 1,151 to 1,374 students. That represented 75% of the growth of 果冻APP传媒's full-time degree seeking student body, from 3,011 to 3,309. 果冻APP传媒's School of Nursing now accounts for 42% of 果冻APP传媒's full-time degree seeking student body.
The rapid growth of the RN to BSN program is a result of 果冻APP传媒's innovative debtless education solution, which offers RN to BSN students the ability to pay their tuition simply by making monthly payments of $250, interest-free, over 39 months. 果冻APP传媒's confidence in this new approach was such that it chose to not apply to the Department of Education to offer federal financial aid for its RN to BSN program, even though all other degree-seeking programs are currently eligible.
"In our view, the success of the RN to BSN launch further supports 果冻APP传媒's belief that working professionals will choose to pay for their college education through monthly payment plans rather than incur debt through student loans, assuming the monthly payment offered is affordable," said Chairman & CEO, Michael Mathews.
