City Year / Segal Education Award
AmeriCorps Education Benefits: As a member of the federal AmeriCorps program, you may be eligible to earn the Segal Education Award (valued up to $5,645 in 2014-15) for use towards post secondary, or existing or future qualified student loans. In addition, you can request that qualified student loans be put into forbearance during your time with us. Upon successful completion of your term, you may also request the accrued interest to be paid by the National Service Trust, the federal administrator for AmeriCorps' education benefits. Over 100 colleges and universities nationwide augment the Segal Education Award in some way, including matching your award amount, waived registration fees, course credits, or service scholarships.
