SCRIP INFORMATION
Scrip is a tuition reduction program which can be started at anytime. Credit that is earned prior to your child’s enrollment at CPCS will be held in your family’s tuition account until they are enrolled. This is how the program works.
Scrip gift cards or certificates are ordered from the order sheet at face value. These are for items that you would be buying anyway in your normal walk of life (groceries, fuel, clothing, restaurants, gifts, etc.) and they are “same as cash” at the retailer. Kohls allows you to pay your credit card bill with them, but they are the only department store that currently does this.
The school purchases these gift certificates at a discount (amount of discount for each retailer is noted on the order form). The difference between what you pay and what the school pays is the profit. We split the profit: ¾ of it is credited to your tuition account and the remaining ¼ goes to the school to pay the expenses of running this program, along with a small amount of profit. Along with each order, you are given a notice of the net profit to your account. Tuition accounts are credited 3 times per year, at which time it will show on your statement as a credit or you will receive a notice of the accumulated credit.
To begin benefiting from this easy moneymaker, you must complete a registration form. No certificates will be released without your signature on this form. You may elect on this form to have your certificates sent home with the student of your choice or have them kept in the office for pick-up.
Current order forms are always available by clicking on the appropriate link below. All available retailers can be found at www.glscrip.com. If you want to order from any retailer that is not listed on our current order form, just write it at the bottom of your form when you place your order.
If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to email the Scrip coordinator at pschaap@crownpointchristian.org or call 219-365-5694.
