AmeriCorps Scholars in Service to Pennsylvania (SISPA)
The Center for Service Learning was very excited to learn that Keystone College is re-funded for a second-year AmeriCorps Scholars in Service to Pennsylvania (SISPA) host site.
Scholars in Service to Pennsylvania is an AmeriCorps Education Award Only program (Ed Award). This means that participating students enroll as AmeriCorps members on a part-time basis and receive a partial Education Award at the end of their term. Students may choose to do a "quarter-time" or "minimum-time" commitment. A student who completes 450 hours of service over one calendar year can earn an education award of $1,250; a student who completes 300 hours of service over one year can earn a $1,000 education award. For more information regarding this program please contact Maria Fanning, maria.fanning@keystone.edu
