Scrip Tuition Rebate Program

Tuition Rebate Program - Scrip
Christ The Divine Teacher School

THE TUITION REBATE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO HELP FAMILIES DEFRAY THE COST OF TUITION. The term Scrip will become a familiar word to you. When you purchase Scrip, you're purchasing gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. Families buy the gift card/certificate from the school at FULL face value and redeem them for FULL face value. Because the school is buying them in bulk each retailer offers a discount. The discount can range from 2% to 25%. The discount is our organizations revenue. Of this revenue, 80% is credited to the family's tuition account. The remaining 20% is used for the operating expenses of the Scrip program.

The average family will spend $100 a week on groceries ($100 * 52 =$5,200). This annual total applied to the discount of 5% equals $260 ($5,200 * 5%). The 80% retained by the family for tuition equals $208 ($260 * 80%). With the groceries alone your family can reduce your tuition payment by $208. There are gift cards for clothing, toys, books, restaurants and many other items and services.

Anyone can participate in this program. The discounts that are earned can be applied to their own account, another family attending Christ The Divine Teacher School, or to the Christ The Divine Teacher School Grant and Aid Fund.
