Many higher education institutions recognize the advantages of recruiting AmeriCorps alumni to become students. AmeriCorps alumni have the traits and skills that colleges and universities value, such as a commitment to community, problem-solving experience, and training as leaders. Consequently, a growing number of colleges and universities are creating incentives, including matching the education award, to attract AmeriCorps alumni to their campuses.

Ways to match the Segal AmeriCorps Educational Award include:

• Providing a 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 cash match from institutional funds
• Matching with scholarship funding
• Waiving admission and other fees
• Offering tuition discounts
• Offering housing scholarships or discounts
• Granting academic credit for service experience
• Reaching out to individual, institutional, and foundation sources
