Celeryville Christian School SCRIP Program

What is SCRIP?

SCRIP is a term that means "substitute money." SCRIP was developed to assist parents with the cost of tuition. When you purchase SCRIP, you are purchasing negotiable gift certificates that are used just like cash. The SCRIP is issued by the national and local retailers where your family already shops. These merchants want to support non-profit organizations, and in return, ask you to support them by shopping with SCRIP at their stores. You can use SCRIP to purchase everyday items like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn money toward your tuition. As a non-profit organization, Celeryville Christian School can purchase SCRIP from participating merchants at a discount. For instance, most grocery SCRIP can be purchased at a 4-5% discount. This may not seem like very much, but because of the potential volume involved, it can add up to significant dollars.

How does using SCRIP benefit my family?

Groceries, clothing, toys, gifts, even gasoline can be purchased with SCRIP. Your family will accrue money toward tuition by making purchases that they would make anyway. You can also get your extended family and friends involved to help build your account.

Why do merchants participate?

SCRIP is a win-win situation for everybody. Families who purchase SCRIP certificates actively support the retailers who participate in this program. It is also a great public relations tool for a merchant because they are supporting a non-profit organization in the community.

The purchasing of a gift certificate is a dollar for dollar value. You will not spend extra money for the goods and merchandise you already purchase. You will just be using gift certificates instead of cash.

How to Order SCRIP

 

SCRIP certificates are ordered on a weekly basis. Links  for the SCRIP retailers and SCRIP registration from are at the bottom of this page. The weekly ordering schedule is as follows:

 

Monday-       Please have your order turned in no later than 8:00 a.m. Each family will be issued an envelope with their name and SCRIP account number on the outside. This envelope will be used for collection of SCRIP orders and distribution of SCRIP certificates. Please use this envelope each time you turn in a SCRIP order. Payment by personal check (payable to CCS SCRIP) or cash, must accompany your order. (There will be a $20 fee for NSF checks.) Also, it is a good idea to keep a personal record of what you ordered for your own records.

Thursday-    You can pick up your SCRIP certificates from 2:15 to 3:00, in the school lobby. We will require an adult signature at time of pick-up. If you are unable to come to the school during this time, you will need to contact us to make other arrangements.
 
Additional Information

        In order for our SCRIP program to operate, we will have some expenses. In addition to operating expenses, we also pay shipping costs for each order we place. Therefore, we will deduct a half percent of your total order from your SCRIP credit to cover these expenses.

      If you want to participate in this program to support Celeryville Christian School but currently have no students enrolled, you may direct your credit to a student(s) of your choice. Also, if you are the parent or grandparent of a future CCS student, you can start accruing tuition money for them, and direct the funds to an account in their name.
