Students in Service Tuition Awards
What is Students in Service?
Students in Service is a part-time Americorps program for students. SIS engages higher education students in community service.
By signing up and doing volunteer work, a work-study job, or Teacher Practicum Hours students receive an education award that covers past, present, or future school related expenses.
Students choose from one of three terms of service - and when they complete their term of service, they are eligible for an Education Award (scholarship), which can be applied towards outstanding student loans or the cost of attendance at most colleges or universities.
- 300 Hour Term of Service within one year = $1,000.00 Education Award
- 450 Hour Term of Service within one year = $1,250.00 Education Award
- 900 Hour Term of Service within two years = $2,362.50 Education Award
Community Work that Applies
- Most community volunteer work, including tutoring, mentoring, stream restoration, and volunteer recruitment
- Campus based volunteer programs and general community service in any of the focus areas
- Academic and co-curricular service-learning
- Federal/State Work Study funded service focus positions (these are the only paid hours that can also count as Students In Service hours)
