S&T BANK contributes $5,000 to the DCS Scholarship Fund

DCS is so grateful for the continued support of S&T Bank, who  confirmed a contribution of $5,000 to the DCS Scholarship Fund through the EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) program.

  The EITC program allows businesses to invest in education locally by directing certain tax dollars to schools in the form of contributions to be utilized as tuition assistance scholarships for students.  The EITC program is a beneficial program for both businesses and schools in Pennsylvania.  DCS has been participating in the EITC program since 2010 and S&T Bank has been a longstanding contributor also. 

We are extremely grateful for the partnership of businesses like S&T Bank, whose EITC contributions allow us to provide tuition assistance scholarships to students and families at DCS.

Just this week (May 2022) students at DCS were able to meet and personally thank S&T Branch Manager Jessica Runyon for the EITC contribution made to DCS!
