WHAT IS SCRIP?
1. Retailers sell gift cards and certificates to our school, a nonprofit, at a discount.
2. Families buy gift cards and certificates at full face value and redeem them for full face value.
3. Your family gets the difference as revenue to be applied to your St. Matthias School fees and tuition, Christian Formation fees or parochial high school tuition. Some participants donate all or a portion of their rebates to Tuition Angels.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN?
