Relay students are professional corps members thus may receive benefits that differ from the benefits members of other AmeriCorps programs receive. A professional corps is distinguished from other AmeriCorps programs because members receive a salary and healthcare benefits through their employer.

The benefits of a professional corps are:

• Federal student loan forbearance,
• National Service Trust will pay accrued interest on eligible student loans after successful completion of the term, and 
• Earn Segal AmeriCorps Education Award upon successful completion of a service term

*Relay's AmeriCorps members are not eligible for the childcare benefit offered by CNCS.
