    It depends what you did with it.

     

    What should AmeriCorps programs know about the education award?

    • AmeriCorps members have up to seven years to use the education award.
    • AmeriCorps members may choose to use their education award in any of the following ways:
      • Repay qualified student loans
      • Pay current educational expenses at a qualified school, which may include tuition, fees, books, transportation, or other educational necessities
      • Pay a combination of current educational expenses and repay qualified student loans
      • Transfer the award to a child, grandchild, or foster child (AmeriCorps members 55 and older)
    • The education award, unlike most other forms of scholarships and fellowships, is fully taxable in the year it is redeemed.
