ACCESSING THE ONLINE PAYMENT SYSTEM FOR YOUR EDUCATION AWARD

Once you complete your 300 hours of service and all other requirements, you can access your education award.  However, you must establish an account through the online payment system.  The account can be established as soon as you are enrolled, but it will show a $0 balance until you complete the program requirements. The National Service Trust is the agency that maintains the funds for AmeriCorps programs.

Below are the instructions to access your information.   

STEP ONE

STEP THREE

STEP FOUR

You will receive an e-mail from AmeriCorps.  In the body of the e-mail you will be provided with a link that you will need to click to complete your registration. Please note that you will only have 72 hours to access the link.

The link will lead to a page where you can create a user name and password. Please note that the usernames must be no less than six characters in length. Also, your password must contain at least one uppercase letter, at least one lowercase letter and at least one digit. (They really mean it!)

STEP SIX

Once you create your username and password, you will be taken to your personalized homepage. From this site, you can update your contact information, view your award balances, and submit and track payment requests.
