The award amount for less than half-time service programs varies based on the required terms of service. Anyone who completes a term of service within a month period, in one of the following programs, is eligible to earn an education award. There are limitations on the number of terms an individual can serve in each AmeriCorps program, and on the maximum value of education awards one individual can receive.
Although an individual can serve more than two terms, a person cannot earn more than the aggregate value of two, full-time education awards.
Each term of service for which an individual earns an education award counts as one term of service in computing the term limitations. This includes terms for which a member earns a full-time, half-time, and any other type part-time or prorated education award. A prorated education award is an award that may be earned when an individual, for reasons beyond his or her control, cannot complete the entire service period.
Generally, if a member is released before completing a term of service and does not receive the education award, that term counts as one of the terms served. Make your education award go further. Certain schools will provide scholarship or a match for AmeriCorps alumni with the Education Award.
