EITC is a Pennsylvania tax credit program that allows eligible businesses and individuals to receive up to a 90% tax credit by redirecting PA state tax dollars to PreK – 12th-grade Scholarship Organizations like Montgomery School, Delaware Valley Friends School, Holy Family School, St. Matthews School, and West-Mont Christian Academy. EITC funds support families with financial need through financial aid and scholarship resources. All money received through EITC is used to fund student scholarships.
