Susquehanna Community Bank makes fifth EITC donation

For the fifth time, Susquehanna Community Bank has made an Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program donation to the Pennsylvania College of Technology Foundation to assist with dual enrollment at the college.

The bank’s $1,000 EITC donation will benefit the Penn College Dual Enrollment program, which enables academically qualified high school and career and technology center students to take tuition-free courses for college credit. In 2022-23, Penn College Dual Enrollment worked with nearly 60 partners across Pennsylvania, allowing more than 1,700 students to earn nearly 7,000 Penn College credits.

The Penn College Foundation is approved as an Educational Improvement Organization under the EITC program administered by the state Department of Community & Economic Development.

“Susquehanna Community Bank continues to show the support and value of Penn College Dual Enrollment,” said Elizabeth A. Biddle, senior corporate relations director. “Their support helps Penn College to engage high school students in college curriculum, providing access to college credits and experience in programs that are essential to the economy and the workforce.”

“We are pleased to continue a partnership with the Penn College Foundation to support the innovative Penn College Dual Enrollment program,” said Michael Loeh, vice president/commercial relationship manager/commercial services manager for Susquehanna Community Bank. “This program continues to offers a vital opportunity for students to build momentum toward rewarding and in-demand career opportunities. We are fully committed to the communities that Penn College serves, and this program is one that we are proud to support.”
