​Catholic Education Is Affordable

The Diocese of Greensburg has more than $1 million to award as financial assistance to families in Catholic schools in the coming academic year as a result of changes in
Pennsylvania’s education tax credit program.

Am I eligible?

Students are eligible for scholarships from this state-sponsored program if their household income is not more than $100,608 (for a family with
one child). That eligibility requirement rises $15,608 for each additional child.

Students who live within the boundaries of a low-achieving school, as determined by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and meet income requirements also are eligible to receive
scholarships.

How do I apply?

For eligibility and application questions, call 724-552-2565 or visit www.catholicschoolsguide.org to arrange an in-person interview with a designated outreach and admissions coordinator.

How do I contribute to this program?

Businesses and individuals with a Pennsylvania state tax liability can participate in this program.

For information, contact Mike Lucotch, Director of Development for the diocese, at 724-552-2503.
