There are three different programs through the Pennsylvania Education Tax Credit Program that benefit students, schools, and businesses:
. Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) K-12 & Pre-K:
Household income is not to exceed $116,055 plus $20,428 per dependent child. (Example: for a family with two children, the maximum income allowed to participate in this program would be $156,911).
. Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) K-12:
EITC requirement + student must also reside within the attendance radius of a low-achieving school. The scholarship awarded may not exceed $8,500 per student.
Each school is required to register annually with Children’s Tuition Fund to receive Scholarships.
Pre-K Schools:
A curriculum alignment letter is required to qualify for Pre-K funds. Please use this Example-Curriculum Alignment Letter to complete your letter to include with your registration with Children’s Tuition Fund. This application and sample letter will be submitted to the Department of Education on your schools’ behalf at the end of the calendar year.
