Ready to wrap up your term in AmeriCorps? 

Congratulations!

First you need to download and complete the Exit Form and return it to the Bonner Director.

Next, check out the information below on how to obtain your Education Award!

Education Award

To successfully earn an Education Award, Bonner AmeriCorps members must satisfactorily complete a full term of service as determined by the member contract, and must successfully complete all program requirements as determined by the Institution and The Bonner Foundation.

The Education Award can be used to repay qualified existing or future student loans, to pay all or part of the current cost of attending a qualified institution of higher education, or to pay current expenses while participating in an approved school-to-work program.

The National Service Trust has launched a new online payment system that automates the AmeriCorps Education Award process. The online payment system will also allow AmeriCorps Members (and Alumni) to request their AmeriCorps Education Award benefits, including interest accrual and forbearance, online. The new automated process is easy to use and eliminates the need to fill out and submit paper forms. Members are also able to update their contact information, view their account information and the status of their requests, and contact the Trust all through the system. Best of all, payments will be made faster. The online system makes the Education Award process a much quicker and simpler process for all involved.
