Keystone Scholars is Pennsylvania’s investment in your baby’s bright future. PA Treasury is investing $100 for every baby born to or adopted by a PA family after December 31, 2018 to families to be used for the baby’s future higher education expenses.

The $100 will be invested by the PA Treasury Department and will grow through the years right alongside your child. Your Keystone Scholars account can be used for qualified expenses when your child pursues higher education.

VITA is a nationwide organization regulated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that offers free tax help to people who make less than $56,844 per year. Since 2008, students, faculty, and alumni of the Fox School’s Department of Accounting have assisted low-income members of the Philadelphia community by filing their income-tax returns for free through Temple University’s VITA program, based on Temple’s Ambler Campus. Due to the Coronavirus, they are running the VITA program virtually this year. Clients will, however, have the opportunity to interact with the preparers and reviewers via Zoom or by telephone.
