Getting the Most from the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award
Demystify the education award and explain how it can be used in traditional and nontraditional ways
The Segal AmeriCorps Education Award is an incentive for recruiting and retaining members, but getting the most value out of it can be complicated, and with the passage of the Serve America Act and new student loan relief programs, the information is evolving.
A comprehensive and updated learning resource is available to assist members with forming a strategy for their awards. The site uses animated stories and learning pathways to illuminate key points around the award.
For information on how individual awards are processed, see the official CNCS web site. To learn more about (or sign up for) the AmeriCorps Online Payment System, click here.
In addition, you can find a set of tips and process notes for creating an education award training for members on your own.
Refer your AmeriCorps and VISTA members to two online tutorials designed specifically for them:
- Education Award is a step-by-step tutorial to help members maximize their education award.
- What's Next provides tools and resources to help members serve and transition to the next stage of life.
