-
Canadian institutions must use Living Wage Canada’s standards (if a living wage for one adult has been calculated for the community in which the main campus is located) or else the appropriate after tax Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) for a family unit of one person (expressed as an hourly wage).
-
Institutions located outside the U.S. and Canada must use local equivalents of the above standards if available or else the local poverty indicator for one adult (expressed as an hourly wage).
Applicability
This credit is optional and may be earned by any institution that meets the criteria.
