Press Release Summary: 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.

Press Release Body: 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 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 / 909-396-6090 and
