Introduction

The application for academic excellence scholarships, which is part of multiple scholarships offered by CUD, is open now. Recognizing the financial pressure that COVID-19 pandemic imposed on families in our communities, to help where possible, CUD is offering a 30% decrease in fees to both new and returning students for all undergraduate and graduate programs for the fall 2020 & spring 2021 semesters. Furthermore, this fee reduction can be used with applicable scholarships for nearly a 60% fee reduction in some cases. Worthwhile to say, CUD values difference and diversity and therefore does not want financial limitations or special needs to hamper a great education.
