SCHOLARSHIPS

Alliant Educational Foundation's Sponsored Scholarships Program

Alliant Educational Foundation manages a wide variety of scholarship opportunities for students at Alliant International University and other institutions of higher education. The foundation also hosts a general fund that assists us with the expenses related to our daily operations as we support our public service mission. Please consider making a gift or donation to one of our funds to support education, learning and student success.

Alliant International University was founded in 2001 through the combination of United States International University (USIU) and Alliant University/California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP). San Francisco Law School (SFLS) joined Alliant in 2010.

CSPP was one of the first, and is still the largest, school of professional psychology in the United States. Its founding marked the emergence of clinical psychology as a professional practice oriented discipline, taking its place alongside research psychology as it was taught in California’s major universities. Since CSPP’s founding in 1969, practitioners of clinical psychology, a large number of them CSPP graduates, have driven a growing awareness that behavioral science comprises a vital part of the national health care agenda.
