EITC & OSTC

If you pay PA taxes, Winchester Thurston students can reap the benefits. Through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program or Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) program, eligible businesses can earn significant tax credits by donating to WT’s scholarship and financial aid program. Your generous support ensures that more students can attend WT and benefit from our dynamic learning environment.

There are two easy ways to do this:

1. Apply for Credits Directly through the State: Businesses can submit an online application to the state of Pennsylvania for tax credits. View step-by-step instructions for completing the application process.

2. Participate in the Tax Credit Program with a Special Purpose Entity (SPE): Donors (either individuals or businesses) can enter into a joinder agreement with a qualifying SPE and then make the donation to the SPE. The SPE will then forward the funds to WT.
