Life happens. We believe all students should have access to resources they need to succeed in college and finish their education. The Student Emergency Fund is an emergency grant for Alliant International University students who are dealing with unanticipated and/or catastrophic life events that might otherwise cause the student to stop or pause their educational goals. The funding is provided by the Alliant Education Foundation and is managed by a campus committee. Applications are accepted for consideration by June 30, 2025. Applications will be reviewed and grants awarded based on available funds. Once funds are exhausted, additional applications will not be accepted or reviewed. All award decisions are final.

Students are eligible to receive funding once an academic year. Awards are generally capped at $500.00. Please note, the Student Emergency Fund may affect future financial aid award packages for students and may be considered taxable income. Student considering applying are urged to consult with their financial aid advisor or the Student Business Services office for more information regarding the impact of this grant.

This grant will only be awarded after a student has submitted an online application, provided supporting documentation of their emergency, and submitted a personal statement. Please note, every situation is considered on a case-by-case basis. The Committee will consider the nature and urgency of each situation. Generally, in order to access the fund, a student must have exhausted all other available financial options (which may include financial aid awards). However, this looks different for every student. The Committee encourages all students experiencing an emergency to apply so options can be explored.

Please note that this is a grant of emergency funding and not a scholarship.

Expenses covered include, but are not limited to:

• Personal medical, dental, or mental health emergencies
• Emergency family medical or death expenses for those you financially support
• Safety and health related needs

Dr. Herbert Baker had been a part of the Alliant family since he received his PhD from United States International University (USIU) in 1977. A tenured professor from USIU, he had directed Industrial-Organizational programs at the San Diego campus since 1989, initially as Director of I-O Programs in USIU's Department of Psychology and Family Studies, and later as Program Director of Alliant's Organizational Psychology division.

Although a detail-oriented and dedicated administrator, Dr. Baker's real passion was working with students. As one of the core faculty, Dr. Baker taught courses in I-O Psychology, consulting, leadership, management, organizational development and social psychology.

Dr. Baker retired from the US Marine Corps with more than 20 years of service, with personal decorations that include the Silver Star and Navy Commendation medals. In addition to combat citations, he was cited for management of a correctional facility and for development of a small group psychotherapy program which was later adopted and instituted at a military drug rehabilitation center.

The Herbert Baker Memorial Scholarship is awarded to an incoming or continuing Organizational Psychology student.
