Support Swain

Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program

By participation in this program, businesses that pay state taxes can support student scholarships at Swain. The EITC program allows businesses and corporations to substitute up to $300,000 per year of business tax, and earmark those funds for scholarships for children to attend independent schools approved by the state.

Business taxes that qualify include:

• Corporate Net Income Tax
• Capital Stock and Franchise Tax
• Bank and Trust Company Shares Tax
• Title Insurance Companies Sales Tax
• Insurance Premiums Tax
• Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax
• Personal Income Tax (Sub S Corporations and other “pass-through” entities)

The Swain School and The Hillside School formed The Lehigh Valley Independent School Scholarship Program in 2001 as a collaborative venture to solicit and receive scholarship funds for students at both schools. All scholarship donations received from businesses using their tax credits are shared equally. Since the program began more than $1 million has been distributed to qualified students.
