How It Works
Three simple steps
Make a two-year pledge
Join an approved scholarship program and pledge the same gift two years in a row. That’s what earns the full 90% credit.
Send your gift
Sign a short agreement and send your check. PJP receives all of it for student scholarships.
Claim your credit
Early the next year, you’ll get a K-1 tax form. Use it to claim your 90% credit on your PA return.
