California University of Technology - Pree Release

California University of Technology Announces Up to $500,000 worth of Scholarship Awards in 2008 to Qualified Students

California University of Technology CEO Senthil Kumar announces today the Scholarship and New Fellowship Program 2008 for MBA and Doctoral Students. The scholarship program is sponsored by iGLOBAL Finance to support students worldwide.

Diamond Bar, CA, January 03, 2008 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 CalU 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 / 909-396-6090 and requesting an application or by visiting www.CalUniversity.com

Online Education

Pursuing an MBA degree has become easier now as various institutes and organizations have started offering online MBA courses in India. Online MBA degrees have primarily captured the attention of the working professionals who could not pursue a regular MBA course due to various reasons.
The main advantage of the
online MBA courses is that candidates can get all the study materials without going to an institute. Moreover, most of the organizations providing online MBA courses in India make it a point to provide regular classes, which the students can attend from the comfort of their home.

Thus, regular interaction with the faculty members through various mediums of communication is made possible for the students who want to pursue online MBA education in India.
And even if you miss the class, the study material would always be available. However online MBA courses are not relatively cheaper than the regular courses. The cost of the course can be as high as the regular course or even more in some cases. As face-to-face interaction is not always possible in online education programmes, it is very important to attend the orientation programme to understand the course content and the method of teaching.


Although it is possible to pursue online MBA courses from any where in the world, the introduction of online courses by some of the premier Management institutes has made online MBA education very popular in India. Reputed institutes like Indian Institute of Management - Ahmedabad, Indian Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade are today offering online MBA courses in India.
