Scrip Gift Card Fundraising

“Scrip” is really just another word for gift certificate. The Scrip Program at St. Matt’s allows families to purchase gift cards to earn scrip “rebates” that are applied to the next year’s tuition. Think of it as a piggy bank for your child’s tuition.

​

 

How it works:

• St. Matthew’s purchases gift cards from participating businesses for a discounted price less than face value. 

• The gift cards are then purchased by families at face value.

• The difference between these two amounts = scrip rebate

 

Example

St. Matt’s purchases a $100 Super 1 gift card for $95.00 as Super 1 extends a 5% discount to the school. Family A buys a Super 1 gift card for $100 and earns $5.00 from that purchase. 

 

Rebates earned are recorded from July 1st through June 30th. Totals are tabulated by the school office and credited to student tuition accounts by the registrar in July of each year.

 

Scrip can be purchased by family and friends. They simply let the school know which family they wish to contribute their rebate to, or they utilize the RaiseRight app to buy egift cards. 

 

We all buy gas, need groceries and order online. With just a little planning, scrip can be used for all of these purchases. It really is an easy program.

How full can you make your bank this year?

  

 

Where do I purchase gift cards?

There are two ways to purchase gift cards while earning tuition credit:

• Purchase at the SMS Office (from 8AM to 4PM, Monday through Friday) or when offered at special events.

  • If you call in first, we will hold your cards in the office until you can make it in.​

• Download the RaiseRight app on your phone or got to RaiseRightRight.com on your computer.​
