Bridge Educational Foundation Donates $79,000 in Scholarships to Schuylkill County Families


The Bridge Educational Foundation, with the backing of Raymond James and Waste Management, has announced a donation of $79,000 in scholarship funds to families in Schuylkill County.
These scholarships, made possible through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program, will provide financial assistance to families attending several local schools. The beneficiaries include students from St. Joseph School for Special Learning, Assumption BVM Regional School, Nativity BVM High School, Marian Catholic, and St. Nicholas School.

The EITC program allows businesses to earn tax credits in exchange for contributions to educational improvement organizations, such as the Bridge Educational Foundation.

Families who will benefit from these scholarships are encouraged to reach out to their respective schools for more information on how to apply and utilize these funds effectively.
