The content of this page is for informational purposes only and is not intended, expressly or by implication, as a guarantee of employment or salary, which vary based on many factors including but not limited to education, credentials, and experience. Alliant International University explicitly makes no representations or guarantees about the accuracy of the information provided by any prospective employer or any other website. Salary information available on the internet may not reflect the typical experience of Alliant graduates. Alliant does not guarantee that any graduate will be placed with a particular employer or in any specific employment position.

The Educational Leadership Pathway Grant is only available to new students applying to one of the aforementioned master’s + credential program pathways. Students who are currently or were previously enrolled in any Alliant master's or credential programs are not eligible for this grant. Eligible new students must meet all admissions requirements. Students who meet the initial criteria will receive a conditional grant award letter during their first term, which requires student acceptance and outlines the conditions and requirements for maintaining grant eligibility. This grant cannot be combined with Alliant tuition waivers or other Alliant-issued scholarships.

All grant awards are subject to availability. Term-based disbursements of the grant will reduce tuition to $417 per term; exact amount of the grant will be subject to existing tuition rates. Unit tuition rates for the Doctorate in Education in Leadership are subject to annual increases as determined by the institution.

Award recipients must be enrolled full-time and remain continuously enrolled in the master’s and credential program pathway to maintain eligibility. Upon entering the Doctorate in Education in Leadership program, recipients must remain continuously enrolled in twelve consecutive terms to receive the full grant. Recipients must maintain good academic standing, defined as a minimum GPA of 3.0 at Alliant International University, across all programs (Master’s, Credential, and Doctorate). Students who lose eligibility due to extenuating circumstances may apply for reinstatement. Reinstatement is not guaranteed, and decisions are not subject to appeal.

The terms of the grant are subject to change, and the number of grants available may change based on the availability of funds.
