New York Campus Compact
Education Award Program
Through a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service and the New York State Commission on National and Community Service, NYCC has received AmeriCorps Education Award Program (EAP) funding for October 2011 - May 2013. EAP fosters civic engagement among higher education students, promotes the National Service movement, and encourages positive relationships between campuses and communities. The program meets critical community needs by engaging college students in service as part-time AmeriCorps members, and fostering within them an ethic of civic responsibility.
Upon successful completion of 300 hours of service in a calendar year, students are eligible to receive a $1,175 Education Award to be applied toward outstanding federal student loans or the cost of attendance at a college or university. With rising tuition costs the education award earned upon successful completion of the program helps make service a viable opportunity for students with financial need.
If your campus is interested in hosting an EAP, please contact Lillian Hartman at nycampuscompact@cornell.edu or 607-254-6239.
