To receive your Education Award, you must:

• Serve through your term of service end date.
• Complete the minimum service hours for your AmeriCorps position as listed in your AmeriCorps Service Agreement.
• Finalize all exit tasks from you and your supervisor.

Once all final paperwork is submitted, your Education Award will be available in about 4 weeks after your end date through your AmeriCorps portal.
