What is Scrip?

SCRIP is a store gift card that costs you nothing more than the retail cost to make a purchase from your favorite merchant. For example, you pay $25 for a $25 gift certificate to the merchant of your choice. The school benefits because the participating merchant pays the school a percentage of the total amount purchased. This is a "win-win" situation for you, the school, and the merchant. Our SCRIP profits directly support our teacher education and financial aide programs at St. Thomas. The vast majority of our school families participate in this program and due to their support we made $170,000 in profit last year (2006-2007 school year) from selling $1.8 million dollars in SCRIP.

Tuition Reduction Incentive Program

St. Thomas offers a tuition reduction incentive program (T.R.I.P.) through the SCRIP program. After the first $150 in profit from your SCRIP purchases, St. Thomas will credit you with 50% of the remaining profits from your family's purchases. All families will receive a credit toward their tuition in May. For this program to benefit your family, you must start thinking in terms of using SCRIP for all your family's needs. Bring in family and business orders or talk with your friends about buying all their movie tickets or grocery store purchases through SCRIP. You can bring in any order and your family gets credit!

Are You a Fry's or Basha's / AJ's Shopper?

• Purchase a gift card for $5 at the SCRIP table or through an order envelope.
• It is good for a $5 purchase. When you get to the cashier, any dollar amount can be added to your STA Fry's/Basha's/Aj's card before your purchases are made. You may reload the card using cash, debit, credit or check.
• Fry's and Basha's/AJ's pays our school 6% every time you reload the card and the profit is tracked back to our school.
• Each family's profit is tracked and all the cards you purchase or sell to family and friends will be credited to your T.R.I.P. account.
• Kroger corporation owns Fry's, so these cards can be used at any Kroger stores nationally.
