Pennsylvania EITC/OSTC Guidelines 2023-2024

Pennsylvania residents are eligible for scholarships for their children based on the follow household income criteria:

Household income is less than $108,444 plus $19,088 for each qualifying dependent in the family in 2023-2024.

For example:

A family with one qualifying dependent must have an income below $127,532 ($108,444 + $19,088 = $127,532)

A family with two qualifying dependents must have an income below $146,620 ($108,444 + $19,088 + $19,088 = $146,620)

A family with three qualifying dependents must have an income below $165,708 ($108,444 + $19,088 + $19,088 + $19,088 = $165,708)

In addition, if the applying family has a child that is considered disabled according to Pennsylvania EITC/OSTC law the qualifying dependent amount would by multiplied by 1.50 for a support level 1 disability and by 2.993 for a support level 2 disability.

For example:

A family with one qualifying dependent that has a support level 1 disability must have an income below $137,076 ($108,444 + $28,632 (19,088 x 1.50 = $28,632) = $137,076)

A family with one qualifying dependent that has a support level 2 disability must have an income below $165,574.38 ($108,444 + $57,130.38 (19,088 x 2.993 = $57,130.38) = $165,574.38)
