in Service to Pennsylvania
AmeriCorps Program is an
AmeriCorps Education Award Only program (Ed Award).
This means that participating students enroll
as AmeriCorps members on a part-time basis and receive a partial
Education
Award at the end of their term. Students
who complete 450 hours of service in one year earn an award of
$1,250.00. The award can be used to pay
for any
legitimate educational expense at their current undergraduate
institution or to
pay for future educational expenses.
