Just noticed an ad from this school
https://kibo.school/degree/tuition-aid/
which says it offers online Bsc. in Computer Science for the price of $6000 (total 3 years). With a 75% scholarship the real price would be $1,500.
The website says it is registered in New York, but the school belongs to a 'woolf college' that uses ECTS european system.
Anyone interested in finding out how legit is this program?

With their "offices" in NY and being "accredited" by really weird Maltan "university" (
https://legal.woolf.university/accreditation), this sounds not at all legit. TESU costs only slightly more and there aren't issues about whether or not the degree is actually what it claims to be.
