EITC and OSTC

It's like sending your state tax payment to Villa Maria instead of Harrisburg!

Villa Maria Academy High School is eligible to receive corporate gifts through two innovative programs offered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program and the Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) program.

Companies that do business and pay corporate and other taxes in Pennsylvania can receive substantial tax credits by redirecting their state tax dollars to Villa Maria in support of scholarships for underserved and deserving students.

The EITC and OSTC Programs each provide wonderful opportunities to not only the donor but also the young women who rely on support in order to attend Villa Maria.
Tax credits start at 75% of the donation amount for a one-year contribution and increase to 90% for a two-year contribution. 
 
  • Tax credits can be applied to as much as $750,000 in contributions each year through both EITC and OSTC programs.
     
  • Furthermore, the 25% (or 10% for two-year commitment) that is not included in the tax credit may be claimed as a charitable donation on your federal tax return, which would reduce the cost of your donation to almost nothing!
     
  • These donations have given us the means to offer young women the opportunity to receive an outstanding all-girls, Catholic, college-preparatory education and the tools and confidence to succeed in both academics and the broader challenges of the world we live in today. 
     
  • The application process for changing the course of a young woman’s life could not be simpler! Visit the EITC Website or contact the Advancement Office for more information on these programs.
