Americorps National Service Awards

As a Title IV institution the University of Edinburgh is approved to accept Americorps National Service Awards

Students who have completed certain types of national service in the US may be eligible to receive a National Service Award (Segal Education Trust).

To manage your award please use the MyAmericorps portal

For eligible students, payment of an award is made directly to the University of Edinburgh for tuition fees but the university must first confirm details of the student’s programme of study and enrolment period through the online Americorps system.

Please note that Americorps National Service Awards are released in two equal installments, one at the start of the relevant enrolment period and one at the mid-point, unless the date of authorisation is past the mid-point of the enrolment period.
