SCRIPS

Every week, every family at DCS can lower their tuition by using the Scrips program. Scrips allows people to purchase gift cars and certificates through the school with a percentage of the face value going toward lowering the cost of tuition.

Not only can current families take advantage of this, but they can enlist grandparents, extended family, and friends to help in the process as well.

To participate in the program, you must register; then let the ordering begin.  Orders may be submitted anytime and are picked up once a week at the school office or sent home with students.

With over 100 vendors available, couldn’t you use or give gift cards to local grocery stores, service stations, mall stores, or restaurants?

Now is the time to sign up and get your family and friends to help.  With the holidays coming, it’s a great time and way to purchase your gift cards.  Get everything you need on the Scrips order form.  Soon to be posted here at this web site.

What is Scrip?

• Scrip is “substitute money” in the form of gift cards.
• When consumers purchase scrip, they receive negotiable certificates or cards that can be used like cash to purchase products or services from merchants who have issued them.
• Scrip can be used to purchase anything from groceries, fuel, clothing, toys, and cosmetics to entertainment, electronics, home improvement, or household services.
• Offering freedom of choice and versatility, scrip is also a great gift idea for anyone and any occasion.
• Nevertheless, What makes scrip a valuable and effective fundraising tool for DuBois Christian Schools is that as you use it to buy your favorite products and services, you generate a portion of the much needed funds for your student tuition.
