Welcome to the Eastern Pennsylvania Scholarship Foundation’s website. The foundation is excited to tell you about the good work of our foundation, which provides need-based scholarship assistance to deserving students attending or wishing to attend the Catholic schools of the Diocese of Allentown.

The Eastern Pennsylvania Scholarship Foundation was established in 2001 to accept Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) donations from companies participating in Pennsylvania’s EITC program. Since that inaugural year, the foundation has awarded over $6.6 million through more than 9,000 partial, need-based scholarships to students attending the 59 secondary, elementary, special needs schools, and 47 pre-schools in the Diocese of Allentown.

The foundation also encourages personal donations to our scholarship fund for any school or combination of schools in our diocese. Whether it is through a planned giving gift, memorial scholarship fund or an individual gift, we are happy to work with you to meet your educational philanthropic goals.

Please peruse our website to learn more about the Educational Improvement Tax Credit program and the Eastern Pennsylvania Scholarship Foundation.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Barbara Ann Shotwell
