FAQ
The Scrip Program is one of the easiest ways for families to support SPPS while earning credit toward their annual $200 Scrip obligation. By purchasing gift cards for everyday expenses through the school office, the RaiseRight mobile app or website, and participating in Kroger Community Rewards, families can turn routine spending into meaningful support for our school. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the program.
Scrip Program FAQ
What is Scrip?
Scrip is a tuition rebate fundraising program that allows families to purchase gift cards from hundreds of participating retailers. A percentage of each purchase is returned to the school and credited toward your family's annual Scrip obligation.
How much do I need to earn each year?
Each family is responsible for earning $200 in Scrip credit during the school year.
What happens if I don't earn the full $200?
Any remaining balance will be billed through your FACTS account at the end of the school year.
How do I participate?
Families can purchase in-stock gift cards at any time from the school office, place orders for gift cards when order forms are sent home, or shop directly from the RaiseRight mobile app or website.
What if I don't want to participate in the Scrip Program?
Participation in earning Scrip rebates is optional; however, every family is assessed a $200 annual Scrip fee. The Scrip Program provides families with an opportunity to offset or completely cover this fee through everyday purchases made using RaiseRight gift cards and Kroger Community Rewards.
Families who choose not to participate in the program may simply pay the full $200 fee. The fee can either be paid in a lump sum at the end of the school year or divided and included in the family's FACTS tuition payment plan throughout the school year. This is set up when choosing your payment plan during enrollment.
What is RaiseRight?
RaiseRight is the platform used by our school to manage Scrip purchases. Through the app, families can purchase digital gift cards instantly from their phones and begin earning rebates immediately.
Do digital gift cards work the same as physical gift cards?
Yes. Digital gift cards provide the same rebate benefits and can often be used immediately after purchase.
Which stores participate?
Hundreds of national retailers participate, including grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, clothing stores, home improvement stores, travel providers, and online retailers. Physical gift cards from select local businesses may also be availabe in the school office.
How does Kroger Community Rewards help?
By linking your Kroger Plus card to Saints Peter and Paul School through Kroger Community Rewards, a portion of eligible purchases is donated to the school and applied toward your family's Scrip earnings.
Can you see my Kroger Community Rewards earnings?
No. Families who participate in Kroger Community Rewards must send a copy of their quarterly earnings directly to the school office in order to receive credit.
Does Kroger Community Rewards cost me anything?
No. Enrollment is free and does not affect your fuel points or rewards.
Can grandparents or other family members help earn Scrip credit?
Yes! Grandparents, relatives, and friends can participate using your family's account to help contribute to your annual goal. We encourage you to reach out to family and friends when we send home order forms throughout the school year.
How can I check my progress?
Families can view their earnings and track progress through their RaiseRight account throughout the school year or reach out to the school office for assistance.
When are earnings calculated?
Scrip earnings are tracked throughout the school year and applied toward your family's annual obligation.
What if I earn more than the $200 fee?
Anything over your family's $200 annual obligation will be applied to the following year's school tuition!
