EITC Program

Leverage Your Tax Dollars to Make A Big Impact in Our Community

One of the most crucial funding sources of financial aid for students comes from The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program. This program allows businesses and individuals to direct their PA state income taxes to students instead of sending those tax dollars to Harrisburg. It is a simple and easy process that will turn the tax dollars that you already owe into scholar ships and financial aid. When you make an EITC contribution, your tax dollars make a difference in your community.

The EITC Guide

When you participate in the EITC Program, the school will receive 100% of your contribution to give to students for scholar ships and you also get 90% back in the form of a tax credit and/or refund!

Example:

You write a contribution check for $5,000.

Your $5,000 contribution turns into $9,500!

The school gets the $5,000 contribution and you get $4,500 in the form of a state tax credit and/or refund!
