AmeriCorps Scholarship Info Session
Wednesday,  March 23
Pick either 10 AM to 11 AM or 3 PM to 4 PM, both times use the same link here.

Are you craving more action than the 4 walls of your dorm room? AmeriCorps is perfect for that! The program allows members to choose a service site with which they complete 300 volunteer hours over the course of one calendar year.
All of this hard work does not come without great reward, though! Members receive a $1342.86 scholarship that can be used to pay for future education expenses or even repay student loans, a fantastic experience to put on their resume, and various personal growth and learning opportunities, such as cultural competency. We hope to instill in each member the values behind perseverance, proactiveness, community, and a lifetime of service. Perhaps you will take the leap with us into that lifetime! If neither session works for you, email Matthew Burgess at americorps@siue.edu or mburges@siue.edu to ask any questions or to set up a Personal Meeting.
