St. Margaret Mary Scrip
Scrip is a nationwide program that enables organizations to raise money by purchasing gift cards at a reduced rate, selling them to their supporters and then keeping the difference as profit. TCCES passes the benefits of Scrip on to participating families by applying a percentage of the profit to a family's tuition bill. Literally hundreds of nationwide and local retailers, hotels, restaurants and businesses participate in the Scrip program. By getting into the habit of using Scrip to purchase everyday items such as groceries, gas and fast food, TCCES families can noticeably reduce their tuition bill without increasing their usual spending.
Scrip order forms are available on the website and at every TCCES school and parish office. Some schools and parishes also have designated times when more commonly used gift cards are available for immediate purchase. Less frequently used cards must be ordered. Orders are placed on Thursday mornings, and most cards are then available the following Thursday.
