Pennsylvania families are asking for more options! And now, there’s a new opportunity to deliver.

The federal Education Freedom Tax Credit can bring millions in new educational resources to students across our Commonwealth. And here’s the key: this program is funded by private donations, not state dollars. That means no cuts to public schools and no added burden on taxpayers.

Even more important, these scholarships can benefit a wide range of students, including those in public schools, by helping cover tutoring, transportation, technology, and other educational needs.

The demand is already clear. Tens of thousands of Pennsylvania students are waiting for opportunities like those offered through EITC and OSTC. This federal program allows us to build on what’s already working and reach even more families.

The fact is this would cost Pennsylvania nothing: 

• Scholarships are funded by private donations  

• The program does not reduce public school funding  

• There is no state fiscal impact 

But Pennsylvania must choose to participate.

Governor Shapiro has the ability to opt our Commonwealth into this program. With one decision, he can help ensure Pennsylvania students don’t miss out on these additional resources.

Take a moment right now to send a message to Governor Shapiro. 
Encourage him to opt Pennsylvania into the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit so we can take full advantage of this opportunity—for the children who need options today and for those who will need them in the years ahead.
