Dataset of total payments made to higher education and loan holding institutions from Fiscal Year 1995 through Fiscal Year 2016, aggregated by state

This table describes the types of checks required, the price and time for each state and territory.

Upon exiting service, AmeriCorps members are invited to complete the AmeriCorps Member Exit Survey (AmeriCorps MES) to provide information on their service experiences. By collecting data on member experiences, AmeriCorps and its partners can better understand how to support its members, while individuals interested in becoming a member can see the benefits of serving. Members that leave service after completing their full term or members that depart from service early both complete the exit survey. The data includes information on members’ civic-mindedness, community involvement, cultural competency, and developed life and career skills (based on the AmeriCorps Member Theory of Change). As well as measures of members’ experience and training, motivations to serve, and post-service plans. Any data on members that started prior to them turning 18 years of age is excluded from this data. Since the start of the MES in 2015, there have been over 360,000 respondents. In 2021, 46,233 surveys were completed out of 57,445, for a completion rate of 80%.

The dataset displays the decimal percentages of members in each program that answered with the two most positive selections of each question’s available options. For example, the available answers for Question 12 are: ‘Much less likely, Somewhat less likely, No effect, Somewhat more likely, and Much more likely’. The data selected for Question 12 thus displays the percentage of members that responded with ‘Somewhat more likely or Much more likely’, therein providing the percentage of individuals who responded favorably to the question. Please access the AmeriCorps MES Data Dictionary file in the Attachments section under About This Dataset for more information.

To note: some members begin the survey, complete only a selection of the survey, and never finish the survey after starting. The responses of members that do not finish the survey are included in the calculations of proportions in the 2021 MES table. As a result, the total number of individuals answering each question of the MES varies question to question, though the number of partially finished surveys represent a fairly small portion of the total overall number of surveys given out in a given timeframe. The total number of finished surveys, partially completed surveys, and surveys that were never started can be found in the attachments section under "MES 2021 Total Counts".

- This dataset provides comparisons of demographic group prevalence in AmeriCorps Member/Volunteers populations to that of the greater U.S. population. The odds ratio analysis was completed by the Office of the Chief Data Officer.
- Population estimates were obtained from U.S. Census Bureau data reported in American Community Survey 5-Year tables DP05 (total U.S. populations) and S1701 (U.S. populations below poverty line), and socioeconomic status-related microdata maintained by IPUMS USA.
- See Attached Document 'AmeriCorps Demographic Analysis Procedure.pdf' for a full technical documentation of the analysis.

This dataset represents the percent distribution of AmeriCorps member terms which started their service in calendar year 2019 by race and ethnicity. This report excludes AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers. Included are percentage distributions from the United States Census Bureau's 2010-2019 State Population Characteristics dataset.

This dataset contains summary data on the location of sites where AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers served between 2/10/2016 and 2/10/2017, as well as the administrative location of all CNCS-supported programs and projects from the same time period. This dataset is drawn from the CNCS State Profiles 2016-2017 reports.

This table describes the types of checks required, the price and time for each state and territory.
