EITC PROGRAM “ nowhere else can you tell the government how to spend your tax dollars” Lawrence E. Morgan, CPA, CFO – Communication Test Design Inc. - commented at a recent Education Improvement Tax Credit meeting held at Bishop Shanahan High School. (Basic information for EITC is listed below….if you need anymore information, please call the Advancement Office at 610-343-6255) The EITC program allows businesses (both corporations and partnerships) to effectively pay part of their state business taxes through state-certified, non-profit scholarship organizations (i.e. BLOCS). BLOCS, in turn, distributes those dollars directly to financially eligible families as tuition subsidies, regardless of their race, religion or nationality. · Corporate Net Income Tax During these difficult economic times, you can make a difference and help a student receive a Catholic Education.

How does it work? Bishop Shanahan will identify the greatest tuition assistance needs and allocate the funds accordingly to those students. Whom does it benefit? Those students who desire the rewards and benefits of a Catholic Education but who need financial assistance. How do I contribute? Sponsor A Student provides several levels of gifting, as well as options for payment. Gifting Levels: Options include annual donations for a High School tuition sponsorship of $5,750 a partial tuition sponsorship of $2,500, a partial tuition sponsorship of $1,500, or any amount you specify.
