Reduce Tuition by Using Scrip
Each of Holy Family’s supporting parishes offers a Scrip program that helps families earn money toward tuition and other school expenses.
How It Works
- Each parish purchases gift cards or certificates from an extensive list of participating area businesses at a discounted rate.
- You can purchase these certificates at face value to businesses you already frequent.
- The participating retailers from which you patronized using your Scrip certificates will, in turn, give back a designated percentage (typically between 2 and 15 percent) to the parish.
- Of that designated percentage, a portion of the proceeds are directed towards tuition credit for your family (ranging from 55%-75%), and a portion to the church or school parent association, depending on the parish.
- The parish will forward your benefit dollars straight to our central office to be used for your tuition assistance.
Your family and friends who purchase Scrip can also designate their benefit dollars to your family for tuition assistance.
Scrip In Action
Let's pretend you purchased from your parish $100 in Scrip to your favorite restaurant, which is set up to give back 10 percent to the parish. The restaurant will give $10 to your parish; then, your parish will give 75 percent of that $10 profit to you for tuition. That means you earned $7.50. What do you have to lose?
It Adds Up!
We have hundreds of families taking advantage of the Scrip program, with an average of $260 in tuition earnings. We've even had a family earn as much as $3,600! With a little extra planning, you can help yourself defray the cost of your child's education all while helping your parish.
