Americorps

For anyone who received an education award from serving in the Americorps, here is a link to schools that match:

So if I'm going to a Ph.D. program (where tuition is already covered), can I use an AmeriCorps Education Award for anything? (I don't suppose I could have it paid towards tuition and then have that amount refunded to me?)

I used my award for a study abroad program that had the tuition paid but the living expenses were not. You might be able to use it for travel expenses or conferences. Check with your state coordinator.

Also, best of luck to everyone who is trying to claim their award. I had tons of trouble, as AmeriCorps was floundering at the time my award was available. My state senator (the honorable Mitch McConnell) had to get involved. It was bad news all around.
