He was an educator, philanthropist, vwin娱乐场官方和倡导者，他写了大量关于作为政府政策的经济学定理的文章，主要强调个人自由的保护和扩展. Mr. Friedman is considered the “father of school choice” and serves, to this day, as a guiding figure in the school choice movement both locally and nationally.

The REACH (Road to Educational Achievement Through CHoice) Foundation, 宾夕法尼亚州的基层联盟致力于确保家长在教育方面的选择权, 选择这一天举办一个全面的研讨会，详细介绍了支持日耳曼学院的两个重要项目的现状——教育改进税收抵免(EITC)和机会奖学金税收抵免(OSTC)项目.

Otto Banks, REACH的执行主任主持了会议，并得到了该州代理教育部长的支持, Carolyn Dumaresq, Ed.D., 州教育说客Brian Abela和州社区经济发展部(DCED) EITC项目及其姊妹项目的执行主任, the OSTC. (SEE INSET for updates and program facts revealed).

GA is a qualified scholarship organization for both programs.

Both of these programs have exploded with interest, distributing over $300million in total aid over the last 10 years. The EITC program has become so successful, in fact, 申请企业经常被列入第一次参与的等待名单. 每年7月1日，在申请流程开始后的几个小时内，可用的税收抵免往往就用完了.

由于两个主要因素，vwin德赢娱乐从这些关键项目中受益匪浅:GA社区内的企业主(家长), alumni, parents of alumni, etc.)认为这是一种有效的方式，可以让他们的企业直接参与他们最喜欢的学校的州教育计划. Also, due to our proximity to the city of Philadelphia, GA目前招收的学生中有资格获得这两个项目的经济支持的人数超过了我们提供的援助.

We hope that YOU, and your company, 会考虑参加州政府提供的这些真正的转型项目吗. For more information, please contact Martin Dean, Associate Director of Institutional Advancement, 267-405-7458 or EMAIL.
