AmeriCorps
SIT Graduate Institute acknowledges the value of service and is proud to be a member of the Segal Education Award Matching Program and a School of National Service, offering benefits and incentives to AmeriCorps members and alumni. This partnership strives to bring driven and civic-minded individuals to SIT’s master’s degree programs.
