Support The Hill

Pennsylvania's Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program

The Pennsylvania Tax Credit Programs (EITC) gives eligible individuals and businesses the ability to redirect their taxes to be turned into scholarships for students to attend the school of their choice.

Individuals who pay at least $3,500 in Pennsylvania state taxes are eligible to enroll in the EITC program. EITC is a great way for you to receive a 90% state tax credit and have that money go directly to benefit a Hill student from Pennsylvania.

Who Can Participate?

As a Pennsylvania tax payer you can contribute and benefit from the tax credits if you expect to pay any of these taxes:

  • Personal Income Tax
  • PA Corporate Net Tax
  • Capital Stock Franchise Tax
  • Bank and Trust Company Tax
  • Title Insurance Tax
  • Insurance Premiums Tax or Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax

The Hill has partnered with Central Pennsylvania Scholarship Fund, a special purpose entity (SPE) to facilitate the School’s EITC program.

Our family is thrilled to participate in the EITC program to aid The Hill School. It is a simple and convenient way to contribute, and the Office of Institutional Giving has been invaluable in guiding us through the process. We wholeheartedly endorse this program and urge all families to explore how they can redirect their state tax dollars to The Hill School rather than to Harrisburg!

As the parent of a Hill School alumna who received a substantial scholarship to attend Hill, and now as a small business owner in Pennsylvania, I felt the EITC program was the perfect way for me to give back to Hill. My commitment can be directed to the student scholarship fund to enable other deserving students the same opportunity my daughter had. It's a win-win for both my business and The Hill School, and I would encourage others to do the same.

Many of the most talented and qualified students interested in attending Hill reside in Pennsylvania. Participation in the EITC program allows us to provide these students and their families with the financial aid needed to make a Hill education possible. Over the last few years, we have grown the program to support an average of 25 students per year, which we believe is transformative in preparing these talented young people for college, careers, and life, as well as enriching our community with their presence on campus.
