You can use your education award to pay education costs at qualified institutions of higher education, for educational training, or to repay qualified student loans. The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act made changes to the maximum amount of the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award. The amount is now tied to the maximum amount of the U.S. Department of Education’s Pell Grant. For terms of service that are approved using 2009 funds (or earlier funds) the award continues to be $4,725.00 for a year of full-time service, and is pro-rated for part-time service based on the full-time amount. For terms of service that are supported with 2010 funds the award value increased to $5,350.00. For terms of service that are supported with 2011 funds the award value increased to $5,550.00 You can make payments from your award in full or part, and can take up to seven years after your term of service has ended to use your award.
