SCRIP—It’s a TRIP! 
Tuition
Reduction Incentive Program
Defining Scrip…
Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money.”
What is Scrip?
SCRIP is a program utilizing local and national merchants.
You order Scrip money (in the forms of cards, certificates
or checks) that you spend instead of cash. When you shop at
the hundreds of merchants using your Scrip money, they
reimburse our school a percentage of the sale. It's easy,
and you can choose to receive tuition credit for the money
that you spend!
Who Can Use Scrip?
Anyone! You do not need to have children attending St.
Edward Catholic School. If you are a St. Edward parishioner,
you're encouraged to utilize our Scrip program for all of
your shopping needs as a way to support our church, our
parish community, and our school. You can even designate
your earned credit to go towards the tuition of a specific
family at St. Edward’s School or simply a school family in
need. What a beautiful way to give, simply by shopping with
money you're spending already!
How Is Scrip Applied?
St. Edward School participates in the Scrip program to keep
our tuition costs down and to financially support the school
and parish. Profits realized from your scrip purchases are
divided equally between the Children’s Fund (school) and
whichever other cause you choose to donate (Parish, MCA,
Current St. Edward Student Tuition or Future St. Edward
Student Tuition).
How Do I Get Started?
Simply complete a Scrip order form today and return it to
the office with cash or a check! Check off the items you
want for your shopping. You'll receive Scrip cards in
return. It's that simple. You save money on your child's
tuition simply for shopping at places you shop at anyway!
Just spend your regular shopping dollars by using Scrip
cards and certificates at the stores that participate in the
Scrip program! Scrip can be used for just about any
household purchase including food, clothing, entertainment
and gasoline!
How Much Tuition Credit Will I Receive?
Each time you purchase Scrip through St. Edward, that
purchase is tracked in your family’s account. For example,
if you purchase $200 of Kroger gift cards each week
throughout the year through our Scrip program, your credit
of $520 will be divided in half with $260 going to the
school and the other $260 put into your family’s account.
At the end of the plan year, December 31st annually, 100% of
your saved credit can be applied toward your tuition bill.
If you utilize Scrip regularly, that could be several
hundred dollars or more off of your tuition bill each year!
You may also begin saving before your child enters preschool
or kindergarten. Your banked credit is tracked for up to
three years or until your child begins school at St. Edward,
your tuition credit automatically is deducted from your
tuition at the beginning of your school year.
