Sheldon Christian School SCRIP Program
Do you buy gas? Do you buy groceries? Do you purchase clothing, electronics, home supplies or supplies for your business? Then this program is for you!
What is Scrip?
It is a tuition reduction program available to you at SCS. It benefits you and the school. It’s a matter of making your everyday spending help pay your tuition. Many local businesses participate and with over 300 of the country’s biggest brands (see full national GL SCRIP list at www.shopwithscrip.com), including grocery and department stores, gas stations, restaurants, hotels and home improvement, the Scrip program has something to appeal to every family. If you’re not familiar with how SCRIP works, here is a brief overview:
WHY participate in Scrip?
- Supports our school. Like all businesses, costs of running the school and school materials go up. This is another way to help keep tuition costs down.
- Helps with your own tuition. Semi-annual payouts go directly to your tuition account.
- It’s Easy! With a little planning, your spending will go a long way to helping school and your tuition. A little planning can go a long way. Because of these generous businesses, it feels like free money!
- How to participate in Scrip – it’s very simple:
- Fill out the attached one-time Registration Form. Specify if you’d like your order to go home with your child at the bottom. You can also sign up online, click here for Instructions.
- Order what is available on the order form at face value (Each business has decided how much of a discount they will send to school: 80% of the discount goes towards your child’s tuition account, and the remainder 20% goes to the Sheldon Christian School general fund).
- Fill out the order form – Circle the retailer you’d like, the $ increment from them and your total for that retailer on the line to the left: Ex. $___150___HyVee-3%-gift card (____$25___1__$50___1__$100); Or pay your bills on account through Scrip to earn tuition credit: $__126.56__Sheldon Family Dental, Dr.Borer-6%-any amount directly to acct. (include payment stub).
- When you have selected all the retailers that you’d like, total the front and back pages and include a check for all. We place orders on Monday mornings by 9:00 and you will receive your orders by Thursday of the same week (either going home with your child or you may pick up in the school office). The waiting period is fairly short; you just have to plan ahead a little.
Who can participate?
ANYONE! Grandparents, uncles/aunts, friends, etc. We have the ability to transfer any earnings to another family. If you don’t have any children attending SCS currently, we will “bank” your earning for you until your child is in school. If you have a child attending preschool, you may apply it towards your tuition or save it for the next year. If you have a Kindergarten age or older child, your earnings will be applied toward your tuition account. If you live in town, but a child you want to support is in another local private school, we can forward your earnings on to them at payout. If your child is in High school, we can forward it to their tuition at high school. Truly, anyone can help lower your tuition cost- with normal, everyday expenses!
