Second Century Scholarship Fund
Bishop Joseph Adamec established the Second Century Scholarship Fund as a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to accept contributions and distribute needs-based scholarships among eligible students attending Catholic schools located in Blair, Bedford, Cambria, Centre, Clinton and Somerset Counties.
Since 2001, area businesses have contributed more than $3 million dollars to our fund through the Commonwealth's Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC). Businesses from large corporations to family-owned companies and partnershipsmay be eligible to earn tax credits against six Pennsylvania business taxes.
This innovative legislation allows a business to re-direct a portion of its tax dollars to support students in the local community.
