It works like this:
Purchase "gift cards" in set amounts from the parish. Cards are similar to pre-paid debit cards and are used just like cash.
The Parish pays a percentage less for these cards. (Percentage varies, see scrip sheet for information.) Half of the profit the parish earns is put toward the general fund. The other half of the percentage amount can go toward ANY PAROCHIAL SCHOOL STUDENT'S TUITION (from pre-k through college) or BTC CHILDCARE COSTS.
More than one person can designate a student. Do you have friends or family members in the area who would like to purchase scrip and apply their rebate to your student? No problem. Just have them fill in your student's name on the scrip order form. The gift cards are from national chains and can be used nationwide, so they make great gifts! There is no limit to the amount of money you can earn toward tuition and you start earning credit from the first dollar you purchase!
Have no student to sponsor? No problem! You can still participate! Other choices are:
- Support the Capital Campaign
- Support the School's General Fund
- Help a Needy Family at BTC School Anonymously
Just indicate your choice on the order form where it asks for the student's name.
