On May 11, the Pa House of Representatives passed House Bill 752 with a vote of 166-26.
House Bill 752 increases funding for the Education Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) by $100 million.
Both programs are funded by companies that contribute to scholarship organizations in exchange for a tax credit. The longstanding EITC program has given more than 450,000 scholarships to help students attend the school of their choice, including Catholic schools.
The three-year-old OSTC program has given nearly 9,000 more scholarships for students who live in communities with the lowest performing public schools.
