The Marsal Family School of Education is proud to be a School of National Service, offering a 25% tuition scholarship to support AmeriCorps and Teach for America community members pursuing full-time undergraduate or graduate study in one of our degree programs.

AmeriCorps was founded as the government agency for national and community service. Their mission is “to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering.”

Recognizing that AmeriCorps alumni are a valuable asset to the academic community, Schools of National Service seeks to reward their service and incentivize their education by providing benefits to students. In return, institutions receive students who are trained leaders, community-minded, and driven to make a difference in the world.
