There also may be additional benefits to your Federal Tax liability as they relate to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT); please consult your tax advisor to maximize your overall potential tax savings.
4. Gwynedd receives a check for 90% or more of your scholarship donation, 和 all funds are used to provide tuition assistance for qualifying students in the upcoming academic year. The remaining 10% supports the mission of BLOCS or FCE考试 in providing children’s access to high quality, values-based education in Catholic schools with the greatest need.
