A Seminary YAV: Tuition tax wouldn't be small change to students

Tuition tax wouldn't be small change to students - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

Not a full post, but since one of the seminaries I'm applying to is in Pittsburgh, I'm kind of annoyed at this. The City of Pittsburgh has decided that non-profits aren't doing enough to support the city, and so is retaliating by taxing post-secondary tuition, because higher education isn't already expensive enough.

Support

A fundamental part of the YAV program is fundraising to help support my own ministry and the program as a whole. This year, all International YAVs are asked to raise $8,000 toward the program costs. Tax deductible donations can be made online here, or you can mail checks to:

Presbyterian Remittance Processing
P.O. Box 643700
Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700

Please write my ECO number, E210308 and name, Rob Vaughan, on the memo line of the check or type both in the comment box if you donate online.

Many Thanks,

-Rob IV
