PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program

Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program offers businesses an opportunity to direct a portion of their state tax dollars to educational improvement organizations such as Franklin & Marshall, which use the funds to support innovative educational programs that directly benefit students in Pennsylvania's public schools.

The two approved educational programs operated by Franklin & Marshall and its higher education and public school partners — Pennsylvania College Advising Corps and Poetry Paths in the Schools — impact the educational experiences of more than 12,000 elementary, middle and high school students annually. The programs' benefits extend to more than 18 schools in 14 districts spread across Adams, Franklin, Huntingdon, Centre and Lancaster counties.

To participate or learn more, visit the EITC Guidelines and Business Application page, call 717-787-7120 or email ra-eitc@state.pa.us.
