Supporting local students in need is easier than ever when individuals and businesses take advantage of the 
Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program.

What is the EITC?
The EITC allows Pennsylvanians to get more involved in education. Individuals and businesses receive tax credits in exchange for their contributions to organizations like BLOCS, which distributes scholarships to tuition-based schools that have students in need.
EITC donations fund educational resources, including scholarships and innovative programs.

How does the EITC help BLOCS?
Because EITC dollars are available to individuals and businesses in Pennsylvania, BLOCS donors help low-income students in the Philadelphia area gain access to Catholic schools.
These vital scholarships help students and their families offset the cost of tuition for a quality education. View our tax-credit FAQ page.

The online application can be filed out with the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) .
