Instead of paying your personal income taxes to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, you could redirect that money to scholarships for low-income students. If your personal state tax liability is at least $1,000 annually, you qualify to participate. In return for supporting scholarships for motivated, hardworking, and deserving Mercy Tech students, you can receive a state tax credit of 90%.
