The "Straight Scoop" on our Scrip Tuition Credit Program - Part 2 Common Questions about Scrip • Where and when can I buy scrip? In Stock Scrip (scrip that is generally kept on-hand or in supply) is available for sale every morning, M-F from 7:30 am - 8:00 am for immediate pick up at the table in the school's lobby, and after every weekend mass at the back of the church (subject to availability, based on demand). Payment is due at time of purchase. Orders for In Stock Scrip (if out) will be accepted at these same times, or by dropping off an order form and payment in the office. Orders for In Stock scrip received before 8:00 am will be filled and placed in your child's school bag the same day. Orders for In Stock scrip received after 8:00 am will be filled the next school day. Special Order Scrip is available by dropping off an order form at any time in the school office or in the back of the church after weekend masses. Special orders will be placed on Mondays and filled within one week. Filled orders will either be sent via mail, or will be available for pick-up or school bag delivery. • Can I have a "standing order" for things I know I purchase every week/month? Yes! If you know you'll need staple items ( i.e. gas, groceries) every week, you can arrange a standing order and send in the check every week. Your order will be filled and delivered per your request (via pick-up, child's school bag, etc.) • Who can purchase scrip under my family name? Anyone! Have your family, friends, co-workers, etc. purchase scrip under your account by specifying your family's scrip acount number on the scrip form. • Will my family and friends have to know my scrip credit program account number for me to get the credit? No - Although it would be helpful to have the family's scrip account number, the family's name may be used (and the scrip credit account number will be looked up). • Is scrip still available during the summer? Yes! Scrip will be available after mass on Sundays during the summer months. Special order scrip will be sent via mail (or pick-up by special arrangement). • What happens to my credits earned during the summer? Credits earned after the school year cut-off will be applied to the following school year's tuition at the end of that school year. • What if my child graduates, leaves St. Mary's, or is 100% on scholarship? You will still have the option of applying your family's credit to a scholarship fund, OR to St. Mary's operating expenses. Sorry, there is no "cash out" option offered for Scrip tuition credit. • What are other ways to use scrip? Use scrip for everyday purchases; gas, groceries,..Starbuck's! ;-) Use scrip to buy gifts for, (or give scrip as a gift for) birthdays, holidays, graduations, weddings, showers, etc. Give and use them just like any other gift certificate -- (except YOU get something out of it!) Use scrip as your own Christmas Club savings account. Each month you can purchase scrip for places you know you will shop at for christmas gifts. By the time Christmas arrives you will already have scrip ready to use! Use scrip to stay on budget every month. Using scrip for things like groceries or clothes shopping can make sure you (only) spend the amount of your scrip purchase! Use scrip at work -- give it or use it for co-worker gifts, holiday gifts, birthdays, work anniversaries, boss' day, etc. If your company gives scrip/gift certificates for these occasions, or as bonuses, have your company purchase them through St. Mary's -- (using your scrip credit account number, of course) and you and St. Mary's will both reap the benefits!
