Participating in the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Matching Program gives your institution access to tens of thousands of AmeriCorps alumni with millions of dollars in Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards for tuition and fees.

AmeriCorps alumni have the traits and skills colleges and universities value. They are committed to civic engagement, are resourceful, and offer leadership. AmeriCorps helps members develop leadership and job-related skills: 90% of members report that they have gained new skills from their AmeriCorps experience. These skills prove to be useful to members in their education and career pursuits. A majority (80%) of members report they are more likely to participate in community service as a result of their AmeriCorps experience and a significant number (72%) of members continue to volunteer after completing their service.

By agreeing to provide a minimum of a $1,000 match, dollar for dollar or in-value, for least one AmeriCorps alumnus each year, your institution will be added to our list of participating institutions that guides our alumni in their education choices.
