Tax Credit Program

Thousands of Cathedral Prep and Villa Maria graduates are making significant contributions to our community in a multitude of different professions. Our grads are heavily involved in the political, educational, and economic landscape in the Erie area. As an institution, our school is a critical component to the future success of our region. We must continue to cultivate today the leaders of tomorrow. To do so, we need to ensure that a Prep education is available to every young man and woman, regardless of their financial situation.

Each and every year, there are many young men and women, who because of their family's economic situation, don't even consider an education at Cathedral Prep to be possible. When this happens there are no winners. The student loses, Prep loses, and our community loses. With your help we can create the opportunity for everyone to win.

Apply to the EITC or OSTC.

This is a program that allows you to direct your Pennsylvania business taxes to a scholarship fund and receive a tax credit up to 90%. The process is very user friendly and chances are, your accountant is already familiar with the program. This is one of the few opportunities you'll ever have to direct your tax dollars to a specific destination.

Your generous investment is sure to pay dividends that will last a lifetime. Imagine the thousands of lives that will be affected by providing a Prep education for a deserving student.
