Summary:
Let $R$  be a ring and $M$  a right $R$-module. $M$  is called $ \oplus $-cofinitely supplemented if every submodule  $N$ of  $M$ with $\frac{M}{N}$ finitely generated has a supplement that is a direct summand of $M$. In this paper various properties of the $\oplus $-cofinitely supplemented modules are given. It is shown that (1)  Arbitrary direct sum of $\oplus $-cofinitely supplemented modules is $\oplus $-cofinitely supplemented. (2)  A ring  $R$ is semiperfect if and only if every free $R$-module is $\oplus $-cofinitely supplemented. In addition, if $M$  has the summand sum property, then $M$  is $\oplus $-cofinitely supplemented iff every maximal submodule has a supplement that is a direct summand of  $M$.
