St. Paul's Lutheran School

What is Scrip?

Scrip cards are an alternative form of payment for the same things you buy every day. It’s similar to using a debit card or gift card. You order scrip cards at full face value – in other words - $50 cash buys a $50 scrip card. Each vendor provides a percent discount on the face value of the scrip card. The difference between the brand discount and the face value is revenue for St. Paul’s Lutheran School.


What is available?

Over 750 brands participate in scrip including locals such as Quality Foods, El Mezcal, Danny K's, and Cravings. Pick from eGift cards, physical gift cards, and reloading funds digitally onto existing physical gift cards. New brands and promotions are added each month. See an entire list of brands and their discounts at www.RaiseRight.com


How does St Paul’s Scrip program work?

The earning from your scrip purchases are split 50/50 between you and the school. You may choose any of the following ways to disperse your 50% discount:

• Tuition at St. Paul’s Lutheran School – Your earnings will be applied to your tuition account. Grandparents and others can also contribute their earning to your tuition account
• Prepay Account – If you child hasn’t start school at St. Paul’s yet (maybe they are just an infant), we will set up a Prepay Account to track your earnings and apply them to tuition when your child starts school.
• St. Paul's Student Assistance Fund – This fund aids qualifying families with their tuition.
• Cash back to you

Example: You purchase a $100 Kwik Trip card with a 4% rebate.  Two percent, or $2.00, is used as you designated (see above), and $2.00 goes to the school. The school portion pays the costs of running the scrip program plus contributes to the Student Assistance Fund.
