Tuition Credit Programs

Grocery Certificates
Family and friends can purchase grocery certificates in various
denominations for BiLo or Pfaff's Market in St. Marys or Paper City
Jubilee in Johnsonburg. The value of the certificate equals the
value of the money used to buy it. A $100 grocery certificate buys
$100 dollars worth of groceries. When you use the certificate, the
grocery store donated 5%, or in this case, $5 to your tuition
account. Grocery certificates are available through school or
parish offices.

SCRIP Gift Cards
SCRIP gift cards are negotiable certificates that are used just like
cash. Both national and local retailers accept SCRIP and each
business determines its percentage of credit. For example, for
$200 paid by cash or check, you receive a gift card valued at $200
for purchases. If the business offers 5% credit, the family that is
designated receives $10 in tuition credit from the business. Chris
Gismondi, 834-4215, is the program coordinator.

Schoolpop (OneCause) Internet Shopping
(Schoolpop can also be accessed through OneCause)
Tuition credits may be earned through an Internet shopping site
called Schoolpop (OneCause). In simple terms, by registering with
Schoolpop (OneCause) and then shopping with Internet retailers
through the Schoolpop (OneCause) website, the shopper earns a
percentage of the amount purchased as tuition credit. Anyone
shopping through Schoolpop (OneCause) can specify a family's
tuition account.

In excess of 60% of our families are using the tuition credit programs.

Several of our families actually earned enough credits through these programs to cover their entire tuition!!

Relatives and friends can use these programs to earn tuition credit for a family. If you need help getting started, we'll
guide you through any of the three programs.

Tuition credit programs are a great way to support businesses that support us.
