Tax Credits for Tuition Aid Supporting MPFS Since 2005

Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs allow businesses to reduce their PA state tax liability while supporting need-based scholarships at MPFS. Participants can receive tax credits up to $750,000 per year and gain a charitable giving deduction on Federal taxes.

2. Apply online through the DCED Single Application page. Select your preferred program and indicate willingness to apply for the alternative if unavailable.

NOTE: If you are not awarded credits through the state's direct application, or your allocated awards are less than your anticipated tax liability, or you prefer a simpler path to tax credits, consider participating through The Friends Collaborative. This alternative provides an easier way to redirect your PA state taxes into educational scholarships.
