The Brandywine Heights Area School District SMILES Program is open to any person who is a resident of the District who is sixty-two (62) years of age or older and who is liable for the payment of school property taxes. For every hour of volunteer service provided to the district, $10.50 of credit will be set aside towards a rebate (max. $1050.00) on the next fiscal year’s property tax bill.
