WE ACCEPT AMERICORPS EDUCATION AWARDS

Did you know that you can use your AmeriCorps Education Award to pay for an Outward Bound wilderness expedition? You can! Thanks to Outward Bound’s partnership with Western Colorado University, we can accept AmeriCorps Education Awards through their Extended Studies program and anyone can register – you do not have to be a current Western Colorado University student. Registration is easy and takes only a few days to process. And, as a result, you will earn academic credit for your Outward Bound outdoor education course.

Embark on a one-week Outward Bound course to celebrate your AmeriCorps accomplishment or choose one of our longer semester or instructor courses to gain competency in outdoor skills, leadership and group facilitation and embark on a career in experiential education.

How to Use Your AmeriCorps Education Award and Receive Academic Credit

  1. Consult with your Outward Bound Admissions Advisor about course options ranging from 7-85 days. Make your choice and register for that course.
  2. Download, complete and sign the Western Colorado University Extended Studies registration packet by visiting the Outward Bound extended study page.
  3. Return sections B, C and D (if selected) of the completed registration packet to Western Extended Studies, along with payment for the desired credit.
  4. Once the packet is received, Extended Studies will verify your enrollment, tuition cost and payment status with the Outward Bound School.
  5. Within two business days of your enrollment verification, Extended Studies will process your registration and send an email confirmation.
  6. If you are using an AmeriCorps voucher to pay for your course, carefully follow the instructions in the registration packet and arrange for payment at a minimum of 30 days before your course begins.
