Accessing an AmeriCorps Education Award


Upon successful completion of a term of service, a student will be certified by a National Bonner AmeriCorps Enrollment Manager as eligible to access an Education Award directly from the National Service Trust. After a student has been certified as eligible to receive an Education Award and sees that their status in BWBRS has changed to "Alumni" for the term in question, the student should register at my.americorps.gov and create an account which will permit allocation of the Award. AmeriCorps Education Awards are not accessed or allocated through the Bonner Foundation. 

 

See instructions in the first paragraph below regarding how a student can register in order to allocate an Award.  Please bear in mind that an AmeriCorps Education Award can be used to repay qualified student loans, pay current educational expenses and/or pay for future education at a qualified institution of higher learning. Through an online payment system, the Member will let the National Service Trust know where and how much to pay for the particular expense. The system is a paperless, fast and easy method for Members to access. Additional general information about the Education Award is available by clicking here and here

  • Click on on the following link (https://my.americorps.gov/mp/login.do)
