Financial Aid

The State of Pennsylvania has allowed a program called the EITC so that students may have school choice. EITC stands for Educational Improvement Tax Credit, and it is through this program that scholarship foundations exist so that you may receive financial assistance in paying tuition. The following is a list of foundations with their contact information. Please take advantage:

Note: When calling have paper and pen so that you can take down vital information. Have a calendar to mark dates and deadlines. When filing taxes, have several copies to send with applications as requested. Also, copy W2 Forms and Federal Tax Return Long Forms, Recaps, and /or Summary Forms ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. Any additional income documentations, as well as Interest/Dividend/Pension/Annuities, and /or Miscellaneous documentation may be required as well. When calling, keep the volume on televisions and radios down while speaking. Speak clearly, articulately, and kindly. If leaving a number for a return call, speak loudly and clearly.
