Scrip Available at CLCA
Picture this:
You spend a busy Saturday out and about. You grocery shop. You grab a coffee. You pick out presents for the upcoming grandchild’s birthday. You fill your tank with gas. You stop for dinner on the way home, decide to catch the new movie at the theater, and then head home. Exhausted from a busy day, you add up your receipts and see you spent a total of $300. Guess what? You could have just earned money for a child’s tuition at CLCA and given a donation to CLCA too.
How is this possible?
Welcome to the Scrip Program. Scrip is a term that means “substitute money.” When you purchase Scrip, you’re purchasing gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use Scrip to purchase food, clothing, gas, electronics, coffee, a stop at your favorite restaurant, or as gifts.
The concept is simple: The Great Lakes Scrip Center acts on behalf of schools, churches, and non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of Scrip from participating retailers at a substantial discount. CLCA buys the Scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value. The discount (from two to fifteen percent or more) is revenue for CLCA and tuition credit for your child or a family of your choice. We set the Scrip Program to help families with tuition.
Here’s the best part:
75 percent of the rebate on any retailer’s Scrip can be designed for tuition credits for your children or can be designated to another family. The remaining 25 percent is a donation to CLCA. The tuition designation is for future tuition. A Scrip tuition credit account may be opened for families with children as young as newborns. Just register online and complete an agreement form to open your Scrip tuition credit account. And, grandparents, other family members, co-workers, or neighbors can purchase Scrip that can accrue towards YOUR Scrip family account.
