AmeriCorps is a service-mission-based organization in which more than 80,000 Americans participate at more than 21,000 locations annually across the United States, including building affordable housing, tutoring/mentoring, teaching and after-school programs, bettering parks and communities, and responding to natural disasters. After completing their terms of service, participants may be eligible to receive an AmeriCorps Education Award.

Requirement
At least one course in the quarter of enrollment must be unit bearing, you can request a supplemental non-credit course (courses number 700-999.99) as an educational expense if a fee to enroll in the course is required, such as a test prep course or one-day seminar/workshop. In other words, your interest may be in the one-day course, however you must enroll in another course that is unit bearing to be able to use your AmeriCorps Education Award for that quarter.
