Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC)

Mountaintop Christian Academy (MCA) works with a non-profit charity, Central Pennsylvania Scholarship Fund (CPSF), that serves as a scholarship fund for the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC). EITC is a program offered by the state of Pennsylvania which allows taxpayers to donate their taxes to non-profit private schools in return for tax credits. 100% of your donation will come to our school and will go towards student scholarships.
