Terms of service that were approved using 2009 funds (or earlier funds) will receive an award based on a full-time award amount of $4,725. Beginning with terms of service that are supported with 2010 funds, the maximum education award value will be equivalent to the maximum value of the Pell Grant for the award year for which the national service position was approved. For terms of service supported with 2010 funds, this amount will be $5,350. For terms of service supported with 2011 funds, this amount will be $5,550. Because approval of national service positions is managed differently for VISTA and NCCC members than for AmeriCorps State and National members, VISTA and NCCC members will be eligible for the new amount sooner than AmeriCorps State and National members. To confirm the award amount for which you are eligible, call your program or project sponsor.
