Tuition Assistance
EITC Scholarship Program
The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program provides tuition to eligible students who attend Central Christian Academy. PA business entities and any individual(s) or couples who pay PA Personal Income Tax make this scholarship program possible by making donations to EITC Scholarship organizations that allocate funds to schools like Central Christian Academy.
Any CCA student (including students with a disability) who resides in Pennsylvania, and who is a member of a household with an annual household income of not more than $112,348, is eligible.
(Note that an additional income allowance of $19,775 is permitted for the student and for each other dependent.)
