How much is the stipend and how will it be paid to me?
The AmeriCorps stipend is $11,100.00 paid in equal installments twice a month, for 11 months. It is taxed and you can expect your check each pay period to be approximately $450.00. This isn’t a lot to live on but our experience has shown that our members are able to live in our area on the stipend, especially if they choose to live in the Palm Club Apartments. We do allow members to take part time jobs to earn a little extra money as long as the job doesn’t conflict with service priorities. Some members find they are able to live modestly on the stipend without the need to find outside employment.
