WHAT WE DO

Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) 

The Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) program helps students in low-performing schools across Pennsylvania by offering businesses tax credits for contributing to scholarship organizations that fund private school tuition or other educational opportunities. Businesses participating in OSTC can receive tax credits of up to 75%, or 90% with a two-year commitment, similar to the EITC program. The OSTC targets students in the bottom 15% of underperforming public schools, giving them access to higher-quality education and resources that might otherwise be out of reach.
