Diamond Bar, CA ---
California University of Technology CEO Senthil Kumar announces today 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 foot their educational bill. With the CalUniversity
scholarship, highly motivated students can earn an MBA or Doctorate with
lower initial investment in their education endeavor.”
CalUniversity’s educational programs are designed for working
professionals. It is one of the first institutions in the world to offer a
Professional Doctorate in Healthcare Leadership and Management. By utilizing
proprietary technology for educational content delivery for administration
of degree programs, CalUniversity has eliminated a major barrier to a
graduate degree by making its tuition very 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."
In addition to one of the most affordable degree programs, CalUniversity
also offers students with year-round enrollment, regular affordable tuition
rates with term payment options. Some of the online degree program
highlights also 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.”
Students may apply for the scholarship by calling 866-OUR-CALU /
