# §2525.100. What is the amount of an education award?

- (a) **Full-time term of service.** Except as provided in [paragraph (d)](#d) of this section, the education award for a full-time term of service in an approved national service position of at least 1,700 hours will be equal to the maximum amount of a Federal Pell Grant under section 401 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 ([20 U.S.C. 1070a](/usc/20/1070a.md)) that a student eligible for that grant may receive in the aggregate for the award year in which the term of service is approved by AmeriCorps.
- (b) **Less than full-time term of service.** Except as provided in [paragraph (d)](#d) of this section, the amount of an education award for an approved national service position for less than full-time term of service (i.e., partial award) is determined in accordance with the following table:
- (c) **Calculating a pro-rated award following release for compelling personal circumstances.** The education award for an Eligible Individual who is released from completing an approved term of service for compelling personal circumstances is equal to the product of:
  - (1) The number of hours completed divided by the number of hours in the approved term of service; and
  - (2) **The amount of the education award for the approved term of service.**
- (d) **Calculating a discounted education award amount.** To ensure that an Eligible Individual receives no more than the aggregate value of two awards, pursuant to [§ 2525.50](/cfr/45/2525.50.md), if the sum of the education award value offered for a term of service and the aggregate value of previously-received education awards exceeds the value of two awards, then the individual may receive only a portion of that offered education award, such that the aggregate value of the education awards is not greater than the value of two awards.
