The scholarship program is sponsored by iGLOBAL Finance to support students worldwide.
Diamond Bar, CA, February 6, 2008 - California University of Technology CEO Senthil Kumar announces the award of up to $500,000 worth of Scholarship and Fellowships to qualified students starting this January. With an ever increasing number of students seeking online degree programs, CalUniversity seeks to broaden the appeal even further by announcing a scholarship program for the 2008 academic year.
Mr. Kumar states “Although the widespread acceptance and convenience of an online degree are well suited for working professionals, high tuition costs still create affordability barriers for many students. We realize that the majority of potential graduate students do not work for large corporations that can pay their educational bill. With the CalUniversity scholarship program, creative students can earn an Doctorate or MBA with a smaller outlay form their pockets.
CalUniversity’s educational programs are designed for working professionals, by taking the lead by offering Doctorates in Healthcare Leadership and Management and implementing their exclusive technology for online educational content delivery for degree programs. CalUniversity has significantly reduced the "cost barrier" by making its tuition affordable. This should come at no surprise considering that CalUniversity is the brainchild of global internet entrepreneur Senthil Kumar.
Mr. Kumar states, “It is somewhat ironic that use and adoption of technology in online education has not really brought the cost down. So you still have students that cannot afford a quality college education. I wanted to create an online institution based on the principle that a quality education should be attainable for everyone, anywhere and at anytime."
CalUniversity, the leader in online affordable degree programs, offers students with year-round enrollment, regular reasonable tuition rates with flexible payment options. Features of the online degree program include: short six week terms, tuition starting at $180 per unit, dual degree pathways, and self paced educational options. “It’s hard to balance a job and graduate school and then you have the financial burden on top of everything else. One of the main goals of CalUniversity is to provide an exceptional educational program with affordable tuition combined with a flexible delivery method. This allows me to work full time and still work on my doctoral degree,” states Brian Lee, a CalUniversity doctoral student and Vice President of Business Operations.
Scholarship Administrator and Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Tony Tran explains, “The Scholarships are merit based awards and will help qualified students with up to 50% tuition. We encourage students who have a proven success rate at work or in their personal achievements to apply as we are committed to assist them in this academic endeavor. Earning an MBA will predispose them for career advancement opportunities.”
