Americorps is open to U.S. citizens, nationals, or lawful permanent resident aliens age 17 and older. Members serve full or part-time over a 10- to 12- month period. Upon successful completion of their service, members receive an education award of $4,725.00 to pay for college, graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans. During their service, members receive training, and student loan deferment. Members who serve part-time receive a partial education award. For more information you can visit the Americorps site at http://www.americorps.gov.

You now need to apply on-line at the website below as Americorps no longer accepts paper vouchers. Your request will be approved upon notice from Americorps and the funds will be sent directly to AU and posted to your student account.
